Mixed Media Card: Stencils from Dies

Mixed Media Card: Stencils from Dies

Hi there! It's Andrea here, and I'm sharing a mixed media card featuring products homemade stencilsi.

This week the design team is tasked with using stencils. Because I have only one stencil by Crafty Meraki (It's a layering one for the stamp set I used on this card), I decided to use dies to create my own stencils from vellum (It's more durable than cardstock and holds up to more ink, etc.). For this project I used the Laurel Leaf Para-Dies and the Marrakech Mosaic Background Die.

My card actually began with leftover ink from my last project. Rather than waste the inks (Something Borrowed and Drive-in from Catherine Pooler) on my craft mat, I misted them with water and dipped a panel of cardstock into the ink, repeating until I had covered the panel with ink. Using the Laurel Leaf stencil, I blended with the previous inks and also added some Serenade ink. Next, I stamped the large floral from You Inspire Me with Versafine Onyx Black ink and a few phrases from the set with Drive-In. To add a bit of texture, I applied silver glaze through the Marrakech stencil.

After the background had dried, I trimmed it slightly and matted it with black cardstock. I adhered the vellum leaf (the diecut left from creating my stencil) to the panel and wrapped black twine around it. I affixed the panel to a top-folding card with strips of thin foam tape to compensate for the thickness of the twine.

For my sentiment I used the Hugs Hot Foil Plate & Die Combo and Matte Silver Glimmer Foil. I affixed the diecut sentiment to my card with foam tape and finished with a few Prismatic Blue gems.

I feel so blessed again in my marriage after Doctor Oku brought back my husband that separated with me for a good 3 months. Even though I have mouths all over my body, it won’t be enough to thank Doctor Oku for his help in my life. My husband separated with me for 3 months and has been in pain and agony without him. So, I searched for help everywhere but nothing worked out, not until I meant Doctor Oku who I contacted online. I explained my situation to him and he promised that my husband will get back to me within 48 to 72 hours as long as my heart still beats for him. I believed in him and he prepared a spell for me and my husband called me exactly when Doctor Oku said. He pleaded and said he needs me back and now we are living happily again for the past 9 months. Everyone out there reading my article that needs help should contact him… Email: okutemple@gmail.com or whatsApp him +2347053113465
