Embossed Stenciling

Good Morning.

It's my turn to host the TLC Challenge (Technique Lovers) over at Splitcoast Stampers.

I'm calling this technique

Embossed Stenciling

It's a fun and easy technique to do and adds such great texture and interest to your card front.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by dry embossing a piece of white cardstock with a Houndstooth embossing folder.  
• I placed the embossed piece onto my Make Art Station and placed the Snowflake Net stencil over that.  
• I rubbed some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink over the snowflakes and then added some Broken China DOX ink to the rest of the open area. 
• Next, I stamped the little skater onto a piece of scrap white cardstock, coloured it with my Copic markers and die cut it into a circle.  I rubbed some of the Broken China DOX ink that was still on my brush, along the edges of the circle.
• I stamped the sentiment with some Uncharted Mariner and cut it into a strip.
• I glued the card front panel onto a piece of blue cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to add the little skater image to one side and the sentiment to the other side.
• Finally, I added some silver gems to finish my card off.

Here is the stencil I used:
