Paper Piercing with Stencils

Good Morning
A Colorful Life Designs has just released some great new stencils for May and when I saw this one, I knew right away what I wanted to do to create with it.

Meet the new stencil called:

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I cut a piece of black cardstock and placed the Airy Swirls over my paper.
  • Next, instead of inking up the stencil, I got out my paper piercing tool and I poked holes through the stencil onto my cardstock.  Just another way to get more mileage using your stencils.
  • I removed the stencil and glued the black cardstock onto a white A2 card base.
  • I die cut the sentiment in black and the word shadow in white and glued them together.
  • I added the sentiment to the card front with some foam tape and then added 3 silver gems.

Here is the stencil I used:

This makes a great background for your large die cut sentiment Karen, and what a wonderful idea to actually pierce the design rather than use ink or paste through the stencil. x

What a great use of the stencil, Karen, with a stunning result! Thank you for always coming up with, and sharing, new ways to use stencils
