Under the Stencil Masking
Welcome to Paper Crafting With Rebecca! I'm so glad you are here! First (before I forget) the computer gurus have sent me a message that my email notification function is going away. So... if you get notified by email each time I put up a new blog entry then we will need to come up with a different plan. Until I figure all this out... please just bookmark me and pop into my blog at your convenience (I post a new entry at least once per week on Fridays) to see what new fun there is to discover!
Last week my hubby and I went to Virginia Beach for an overnight road trip. It was a lovely drive and we enjoyed it... but it was so cold and windy on the beach we didn't spend much time outside. We did eat some great plant-based food, enjoy a lovely sunset, and get some ocean mist in our faces! When we arrived back home my lilacs were in full bloom!
Seeing these beautiful blossoms inspired me to share a fun technique with you... Under the Stencil Masking. I love this technique because you can use so many different products from your stash that you already own. To start with, and see this technique in action, here is my video demonstrating what I am talking about...
- Card base - 5.5" x 8.5" folded in half to create an A2 sized card.
- Gold paper layer - 5.5" x 4.25"
- Stenciled layer - 5.25" x 4"
- Sentiment gold layer - 1.25" x 2.75"
- Sentiment layer - 1" x 2.5"
- I adhered the gold layer to the card base using double-sided adhesive so the adhesive would not show or "bleed" through inside the card.
- The stencil layer was embossed using an embossing folder.
- I adhered the stencil layer with liquid adhesive so that it would stick well to both the texture of the gold paper and because it was "lumpy" from the embossing.
- I mounted the sentiment using foam tape.
- The butterflies are adhered with liquid adhesive but only on their bodies... not the wings, this allows their wings to lift up and appear more airy on the card.
The effect this creates is just stunning
