Crayon Rubbing- Just a Note


Good Morning
Can I just say that I love the versatility of stencils.  
I am always trying to see how many different ways I can use them too.  
For today's card I'm doing some more crayon rubbing using this new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I have been trying to use up some of the pieces I have in my stash and I found this piece that I had rolled my brayer off onto while Gel Plate Printing.  Whenever I am using my Gel Plate, I always keep a supply of scrap paper beside me to roll ink off and I save them for future use.  
  • I placed the Petit Four Dainty stencil onto my Make Art Station and placed the scrap I had found on TOP of the stencil.  I made sure both were secure before proceeding to the next step.
  • Next, using a green crayon, I rubbed over the whole panel, revealing the pattern of the stencil.  I love how it turned out.
  • I set that aside and found another scrap to use to die cut the sentiment.  I glued that onto the white die cut shadow it comes with.
  • I glued my card front onto a piece of white cardstock, then some green and then onto an A2 sized card base.
  • I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment over the middle of the card front.

Here is the stencil I used:

Another wonderful crayon rubbing using the pretty Petit Four Dainty stencil Karen, and using the pieces of gelli print roll off for the background and die cut sentiment looks great. x
