Flashy baubles on a card

I was a bit skeptical about the rainbow foil when I first tried it but after this project I can understand why it is so popular. I've seen plenty of Christmas bauble cards around which inspired me to make my very own foil art bauble card. Once again simple, quick but effective.

You will need. White card (14cm x 18cm), circle stencil of various sizes, black pen, ruler, super tack glue pen and rainbow foil art.

Draw varying sized circles in a random line across the card. Then rule parallel lines from the edge of the circles to the edge of the page. Fill in the circles with glue. Leave 10-15 minutes to dry. Can you see in this picture how some of the glue has gone clear yet parts are still blue? Leave the card until all the glue is clear.
  Place the rainbow foil on the glue and press firmly.
 Then rip off to reveal a little more 'bling' for your Christmas.
I drew little bows at the top of my baubles so that they can 'hang'. Don't you wish you could hang them from your tree? Hmm perhaps I'll do a series on Christmas decorations too! What do you think?
