Extend the way you use your background dies!

Extend the way you use your background dies!
Hi crafty friends! I, Karin, am back with another blog. This week is all about stencils at crafty meraki. I’m going to show you how you can extend your background dies today. 
I’m going to use the A2 crafty plaid background die as a stencil. First I’m cutting it out of a piece of sturdy cardstock, I am using 250gsm cardstock. When cut I’m placing it on a piece of white strathmore mixed media paper with vellum surface, using washi tape. On the picture below you can see how I taped it down. Now it’s time to add paste, I’m using crackle paste for this card and add it with a pretty big pallet knife onto the stencil. When all the holes are filled I carefully take off the stencil. The paste has to dry for a pretty long time so I did this at night so it would be dry the next morning. 
When it’s completely dry you’ll see the paper isn’t flat anymore. You can bend it a little to make it flat again. I’m going to use spray paints to colour the background so I’m placing the paper in my spraypaint box. I’m using a box to prevent the ink from spraying around on my desk. I think orange, blue and green go well together so I’m choosing these three colours for the background. First I spray water onto the paper and go in with one colour. Spraying every colour random onto the paper. I’m adding water if necessary and add more sprays of colours if I think it’s needed. It’s always to fun play around with spray paints and see what’s the outcome. When I think it looks good I’m drying the paper with my heatgun on the lowest setting. 
To add some more interest I’m going to add metallic accents using distress spritz in peacock feathers and spiced marmalade. I’m not spraying these onto the paper but take out the sprayer and tap onto it with my fingers to release drops of it. 
I want to have white edges around the background so I cut it a little smaller than my card base is. I’m adding distressed edges with a paper distresser tool to my background to add more detail to this card. I’m placing double sided foam tape on the back of my background and place it onto the white card base. 
This background doesn’t need much so I’m adding the meraki moments hugs die using three different papers. The base is cut out of vellum, the middle part out of black cardstock and the top part out of white cardstock. Glueing these layers together with tacky glue and adding it onto the card base with 1mm double sided foamtape. 
I’m going to add a little extra using some black eclipse matte opal embellishments and the card is good to be send out! 

That was all for today. Hope I could inspire you with this card! See you next Tuesday!

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.
