I {Heart} Surface Design: Stencil Foiled Heart

This foiling technique is easy and fun and requires almost no skill!  The most difficult part is walking away to allow the gel medium to dry.

One of the nice things about foiling with gel medium is that the texture of the foiling has an organic, sort of distressed, feeling that I really like.  Check out the detail photos:
