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.

Good day everyone, I want to quickly use this medium to share my testimony so others who are in need of help in betterment of their life can get help. I want to introduce to you Dr Osazu, a real lottery spell caster. He helped my brother win the $1million lottery in 2019 and my brother decided to take another win by casting another spell, but he said it can only be done for him once. So my brother introduced me, which I never believed in, but I decided to proceed with the spell after a few years, I told him the kind of game I play, and did all he required, he told me what to do and when to play. I played and won $3millions. I now believe his spells are real, You can reach him . osazu_spell@outlook.com
