experimentation with gold foil

I have experimented with scanning in some gold foil to digitally collage onto my illustration. The reason I have not hand collaged this is that when laid flat on the scanner the foil scans as an almost black colour. I had to hold the foil about an inch above the scanner plate in order to allow it to appear gold. This is obviously not an ideal method of scanning. Unfortunately this has not turned out at all as I had wanted it to. I am going to try and download some free gold textures online and experiment with them instead.
