Gold Foiling

I decided to gold foil the type on my Alice's Adventures in Wonderland book cover.

It turned out to be pretty easy, as the gold foil sticks to the carbon in printer ink.

On the first attempt we used newsprint to protect the print out in the heat press. Unfortunately the newsprint stuck to the printer ink as well.

Second time lucky and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I think the gold foil goes really well with the overall look and feel of the design. It ties in nicely with the 'classic' look I wanted to go for.
