Hello and Welcome
Today's card was a fun one.
Trying to use a stencil called Layered Argyle in a few different ways.
You can see what this 2 part stencil looks like below.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I began with a piece of white cardstock and placed stencil #1 onto my paper (diamond) and inked it up with some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.
- Next, I laid the part #2 stencil and positioned it over the diamonds. I inked that up with some Blueprint Sketch DOX ink then removed it.
- I took the stencil #1 again and repositioned it over the background, moving it over onto the open areas that were still not inked and rubbed on some more Tumbled Glass. It gave a totally different look to using this stencil in the regular way.
- I splattered the whole panel using my Posca pen.
- I took the panel and die cut the 'Joy' from it, then cut the 'Joy' shadow from some white cardstock. (it is a 2 piece die) I glued the two together and set aside to dry.
- I glued the inked panel onto a heavy white card base, then positioned the 'Joy' back into place, matching up the pattern.
- I stamped out the strip sentiment with some Versamark ink, then white heat embossed it. I glued that over the die cut.
- Finally I glued on some navy dots to add some interest.
Here is the stencil I used:
