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 :)

Crypto recovery & phone hacks

FUNDS RECOVERY & PHONE HACK/CLONE??

📝**FUNDS RECOVERY**

SCAMS CAN TAKE MANY FORMS, BUT ALL SHARE A COMMON GOAL: TAKING YOUR MONEY

Fraud can happen in many ways—whether it’s binary options scams, love scams, forex fraud, crypto investment schemes, or loan scams. If you’ve been a victim of any of these, it’s easy to feel confused and overwhelmed by the different financial institutions and legal processes involved in recovery. The journey to reclaim your stolen funds can often be frustrating and difficult to manage on your own.
The recovery process usually involves navigating complex legal and financial systems, which can be even more challenging without experience. In such cases, it’s crucial to seek professional help from a trusted firm specializing in fund recovery.

📝**PHONE HACKING/CLONE**

Working on a project like this requires precise analysis and multiple layers of security breaches to successfully gain access to or clone a target’s phone or social media accounts. This includes access to Facebook, email, fix credit scores, and school results or company databases. If you’ve ever needed a hacking service that involves breaching security and obtaining maximum access, you’re looking at the best service provider right now.

📝“ BE CAUTIOUS OF IMPERSONATORS AND SCAMS ”

The success of recovering your stolen funds or gaining access to a target’s device largely depends on the company you choose to work with. Unfortunately, the internet is filled with fraudulent firms posing as recovery or phone hacking services. These scammers use deceptive tactics and false promises, claiming they can recover lost funds or clone phones, but their real goal is just to take more of your money. Always be cautious and verify the credibility of any service before trusting them.
Many scammers impersonate legitimate firms and use deceptive tactics such as creating fake email addresses with numbers.
It’s essential to be vigilant and carefully select a reputable firm with proven expertise.

Reyes

I didn’t feel that I would get my credit back on track because I have been dealing with a way to get over my medical bills and college bills for months now. Afterwards, I got introduced to XAP Credit Solution by my nephew about his credit services; and I emailed him requesting for help then not for up to three days, I started to see some improvement on my credit report as my score went up from 458 to 803 excellent score without any physical contact. Email him also here at Xapcreditsolution@GMAIL.COM and thank me later.

TANGIBLE INFORMATION ABOUT LOAN PLANNING… THIS HAPPY NEW YEAR..

This is not a normal post that you see every day on the internet where people give fake reviews and false information about excellent financial assistance. I am aware that many of you have been scammed and that fake agents have taken advantage of those seeking loans. I will not call these normal reviews, I will call this situation where I live a witness to how you can get your loan when you meet the company’s requirements. It really does not matter if you have a good credit rating or government approval, all you need is a proper ID card and a valid IBAN number to be able to apply for a loan with an interest rate of 3%. The minimum amount is 1000 euros and the maximum amount that can be borrowed is 100,000,000 euros. I give you a 100% guarantee that you can get your loan through this reliable and honest company, we operate 24 hours online and provide loans to all citizens of Europe and outside Europe. They sent me a document that was checked and tested before I got the loan, so I invite anyone who needs a loan to visit them or contact them via email: michaelgardloanoffice@gmail.com
WhatsApp for Europe: +38591560870
WhatsApp for USA: +1 (717) 826-3251
After you contact them, let them know that Mrs. Dejana Ivica from Zagreb gave you the information. Seeing is believing and you will thank me later when you get a loan from them. I made a promise that after I get a loan from them, I will post the good news to everyone online. If you have friends or relatives, including colleagues, you can tell them about this offer and that it is happening.

HAILEY GARCIA

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor AGBON to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor AGBON, WhatsApp Number :+2349058797761
