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:

This is AWESOME, Karen! I love how you've used this sentiment with the wise men! What a great mask!
ReplyDeleteKaren 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?
ReplyDeleteI love it so much. Absolutely stunning.
