Painted velvet with foil

I played with some velvet, wonder under, and foils a couple weeks ago. I thought I would experiment some more with these.  I decided to use Lumiere paints to stamp circles onto my black velvet.

It took a lot of paint on the stamp for it to stamp well on the velvet. 

I had some leftover painted wonder under circles from my last piece, as well as some long strips.

I ironed these onto the velvet and then partially foiled them.  The Lumiere paints look very muted next to the shiny foils.  I think it looks flat and uninteresting, but I will add some fabrics and see if it can be improved.
