A Lantern Festival

Hi Crafty Meraki friends....it's Michelle back with you today sharing 2 cards using my absolute favourite technique using stencils! I decided to use the new and fabulous Lucky Lanterns Stencil for this.  This is such an easy and really technique, that you really only need a stencil and pigment powders for.  Let's get started, shall we!

Start by cutting a piece of watercolour paper to 6x6 or just slightly larger, you want it to at least be the size of the stencil.  Spray the back of the stencil really well with temporary spray adhesize and adhere the stencil to the watercolour paper.  Pick out a colour palette of pigment powders that go nicely together and won¨t turn muddy.  I used Lindy's Gang Magicals, but can't remember what colours I used...I just picked a bunch that go well together.  Sprinkle the powders evenly over the stencil, trying to get more over the design than on the negative space on it.  Do not add too much, as they will spread. 

Spray the stencil to activate the powderts, but do not drench the stencil, as you don't want water seeping under the stencil design.  After about 5-10 secs, dab and wipe off the excess water with a paper towel.  Remove the stencil and set the paper aside to dry.  Be careful at first as the powders will still be wet.

I aczually didn't wipe off the excess water and powders from the stencil right away, as I didn't want to waste all of that colour.  So without disturbing the stencil at all, I cut another piece of watercolour paper and placed the paper on top of the stencil.  I pressed the paper into the water and pigment powders, being sure to get enough contact with it all, that they transfer well to the watercolour paper.  I set that aside and allowed it to fully dry.

Once my 2 backgrounds were dry, I trimmed both to 4x5.25" and adhered to A2 cardbases.  For the sentiments I diecut the Hi Stanalone Die from a dark cardstock and heat embossed it using Ebony Embossing Powder from WOW! Embossing.  The shadow layer under the Hi was cut from vellum, as I didn't want too mich of these backgrounds to be covered.  Add the diecut Hi's ot the backgrounds.  

This is such a fun, easy and super cool technique to use with your stencils.  I truly will never get tired of this, as the colour combinations are endless and it is so fun experimenting with all the different stenci designs.  some are more successful than others....it's all trial and error.  This technique is one that I rely on time and time again, when i want to showcase how gorgeous a stencil design is.

Thank you so much for joining me on the blog today.  I hope that I have helped to inspire you in some way.  I hope you all get some time to sit down and craft today and I wish you all the most wonderful and crafty day!  Until next time, Michelle :)

I just wanted to let everyone know about my experience. I attempted to invest my money in Bitcoin, but internet crooks depleted and destroyed my finances. I fell prey to a bitcoin investment fraud, which requires you to keep all of the money in your wallet. The concept seemed fantastic, but regrettably, I ended up in the wrong hands. You may understand how much was at stake since for a couple of six months, I invested $6,000 every two weeks from my savings. As anticipated, the crooks entirely cut off all communication with me, and I never received any return on my investment. I chatted with a coworker who told me about Wizard James Recovery, an entity that recovers Bitcoin that has been stolen. After I informed them of what had happened, they recovered 95% of my Bitcoin to my wallet in a matter of a few days. I was simultaneously surprised and delighted. If you have had the similar experience, please get in touch with them at wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com or over WhatsApp at + 4.4.7.4.1.8.3.6.7.2.0.4.

I just want to share my experience and testimony here. I was married for 9years to my wife and all of a sudden, another woman came into the picture. He started hailing me and he was abusive but I still loved her with all my heart and wanted him at all cost…then he filed for divorce..my whole life was turning apart and I didn’t know what to do. She moved out of the house and abandoned the kids. So someone told me about trying spiritual means to get my husband back and introduced me to a spell caster…so I decided to try it reluctantly although I didn’t believe in all those things… then when he did the special prayers and spell, after ,48 hours, my husband came back and was pleading. He had realized his mistakes i just couldn’t believe it, anyway we are back together now and we are happy..in case anyone needs this man, the person can also call or WhatsApp him number:‪‪(+2347053381933‬‬.)
