Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.25 x 10.5, scored and folded at 5.25
Card Face: 5 x 5
Sentiment Strip: 5 x 1.5”
Card Face:
- I laid the card face on a piece of scrap paper and positioned the stencil (this is a 6 x 9 stencil, so there are options how how to place it – even on a 5 x 5 card face), and secured it with Mint Tape.
- Using small blending and shading brushes, I applied colours to the stencil. I used orange on the center of the flowers , then, moved to a dark red, then to pink. I finished the background with soft beige.
- I spattered the card face using metallic gold watercolour.
- I ran all edges over a Versafine Onyx ink pad, adding definition to the card face.
Other:
- I placed the strip of card stock into the stamp positioner and added the sentiment with Versafine Onyx. I ran the two horizontal edges of the strip over the black ink pad.
Assembly
- I glued the card face onto the card base, centering on all sides.
- I added dimensional foam to the back of the card strip and centered it horizontally on the card face.
Final Thoughts:
This is a really pretty stencil to play with, and the options for colour are endless – everything from monochromatic to full colour, as I have chosen here.
I’m really happy with the result of this multi-colour stencilling, but it was absolutely necessary to use smaller brushes to control colour placement.
