Hi. I loved making this card. I hope you like it too. This is lesson six in the all about layering 4 class. I learned a new technique for backgrounds using a decorative stencil, paste and embossing powder.
Supply List:
- Delightful Day Carnation Layering Stamp set by Altenew
- A2 Card Base
- Dimensional Tape
- Altenew Inks: Jet Black, Bamboo, Parrot, Citrus Burst, Fresh Lemon, Maple Yellow, Honey Drizzle, Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields, Deep Iris
- Altenew Alcohol Markers: C001, Y205 and R702
- A Sentiment stamp from your stash
- Ornate Stencil of your choice
- Stencil Paste
- White Pearl Embossing Powder
I started by creating the background. I taped the Memory Box "Ornate" stencil on an A2 size piece of white cardstock. Then I covered the stencil with the Bo Bunny Stencil paste called Whisper. I removed the stencil and add White Pearl Embossing Powder. Shake off the excess and set it aside to let dry.
Once dry, I heat set the panel and watched the shine come to life.
Next I colored the blooms and the leaves. I did one in Purple following the guide included in the layering stamp set... adding each color from light to dark as the directions indicated. I did one bloom in the yellow hue, the other in the purple hue and the leaves in green.
Next I die cut the shapes with my little blossom machine.
I arranged the flowers on the card base and used removable tape to hold them in place.
Next I flipped them over and added dimensional tape to the back.
I didn't like the white edge on the back panel left by the stencil, so I decided to add a little color. I went with the yellows because I thought the purple would stand out too much.
For my sentiment, I chose a funny one from Tim Holtz's "Snarky Small Talk" pre-printed sentiments and added it to a pearlized cardstock background. Glue the background panel to the card base. Peel the backing off the florals and stick them down. I added a strip of dimensional tape to the sentiment... stuck it down... and just like that... beautiful card.
