Attempting to create an alternate foil blocking technique:

Ideally, I wanted to use foil blocking methods to create a stylish and classy looking tag which would be situated inside the photo frame above the backing paper, but time restrictions have resulted in my not being able to use foil blocking techniques.
I had the idea to cut out the words I wanted using a scalpel, once the letters were cut out i'd use the scalpel as a stencil for spray glue to work around and then i'd use gold glitter to represent a foil blocking method.
I made an attempt at doing this, but unfortunately, enough glue didn't get through the tiny letters' holes which meant the gold glitter writing was unreadable.

I shall re-attempt this using bigger font to see the results:
With a bigger stencil, the spray glue got though the holes easier, but still looked rather messy afterwards. 
The colours are what I was going for in my design, but the messiness and untidiness is completely opposite, and wouldn't reflect Laura Ashley very well.
