Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25
Card Face: 5.25 x 4
Focal Layer: 5.00 x 4 (before tearing)
Card Face:
- I laid the focal layer on my grip mat and positioned the stencil.
- I pressed my Versamark ink pad firmly through the stencil, covering all exposed areas a couple of times to be sure that I didn’t miss a spot.
- After removing the stencil, I sprinkled embossing powder over the sticky ink and set it with my heat gun.
- I placed the card face in my spray box and used green, yellow and red Lindy’s Magicals sprays, directly over the embossed area. This added visual depth as well as interest.
- I allowed the paper to dry, and then tore the left-hand side, tearing off just over half of the card face.
- I placed the card face into the stamp positioner and stamped the sentiment on the left-hand side, using Versamark Onyx.
- I also used a background stamp and green ink on the card face to add texture. (This stamp is very subtle, but makes a huge difference to the finished visual.)
Assembly
- I glued the torn focal layer to the right-hand side of the card face, centering vertically.
- I put dimensional foam on the back of the card face and centered it on the card base.
- I scattered gems randomly on the card face.
Final Thoughts:
This embossing powder provides a real “wow” factor, and is wonderful paired with this stencil.
