Three Wise Men


Welcome
Playing with a new stencil for my card today.
Here is the lovely Three Wise Men stencil.
It is a 2-part stencil/ mask.  I am just using the mask part today.

So here's what I did to create my card.
  • I began with a piece of white cardstock.  I positioned the mask piece of the stencil along the bottom of my cardstock panel and inked it up.  I began inking at the bottom with some Broken China Distress Oxide ink.  
  • Next, I moved up the card front in this order with these Oxide colours:  Blueprint Sketch, Dusty Concord and some Black Soot just along the top edge.
  • I dried the ink and rubbed over the whole panel with an anti-static bag, then leaving the mask in place, I stamped the Glory to God sentiment randomly over the background with Versamark ink and white heat embossed it.
  • I splattered with my white Posca pen before removing the mask.
  • Using a strip of white cardstock, I inked it up with some more Blueprint Sketch and Dusty Concord to match the background and then splattered with water.  I stamped the sentiment with some Versamark and white heat embossed it.
  • I glued the panel onto a piece of matching cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.  
  • I pop dot mounted the sentiment in the corner just above the images.



Here is the stencil/mask I used:

  6. Karen this is glorious. Such a wonderful use of stencils. In your credits you mentioned white paper in your neck of the woods. How does it compare to Michael's 110 lb cardstock, which is what I use. And I am wondering why Lawn Fawn white EP? Does it cover the best?
