Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I'm joining Darnell with a stenciled card today. It's the S in I.D.E.A.S. *
Thanks for the push to use a NBUS stencil, Darnell.
I haven't used a lot of layered stencils. (Confession: they cornfuse me and I usually
am off on the alignment. ) But I had this kit sitting in my NBUS box since last summer
and this was just the excuse to use it and make one of my daughter's a birthday card.
I couldn't decide on what colors to use until I saw the mood board at
Just Us Girls. The peach colored sunflower inspired me to use shades of peach.
I embossed a piece of mixed media paper and used blending brushes and ink with the
stencil to color. I was light handed with the colors and used a damp waterbrush to blend.
When I was finished coloring and it was all dry, I used the die in the set to cut out
the design. I lined it up in the embossing folder again and ran it through to freshen
up the embossing that got lost with the die cutting.
A few splatters with left over ink and water and a gold die cut sentiment
with tiny punched gold dots sprinkled around, finished it off.
