Hello! We hope you had a lovely weekend. We are very excited to be previewing our awesome NEW stencils this week! Our Design Team have been having so much fun with them over the weekend! Ericka Strange is kicking off this week’s inspiration with 2 vibrant summer cards featuring our gorgeous ‘Daisy Daisy’ and ‘Mesh it Up’ frameless stencils…
Happy Monday! Today, I’m showcasing a two of the new Visible Image stencils and different ways to use them.
For my first card…
I used the new Daisy Daisy stencil along with Mesh It Up.
I started with a gel press print that I had created with Distress Oxides and paint. Originally it wasn’t anything too great, but then I added embossing ink with my blending tool to the Mesh It Up stencil, and sprinkled WOW! Bahama embossing powder on it.
I love the chunky texture both the stencil and the embossing powder give the panel.
I then took some Bristol Smooth paper and the Daisy Daisy stencil and blended Distress Oxides in Squeezed Lemonade, Dried Marigold, and Marmalade.
I cut the outline of the stencil out and stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Soul stamp set in black on the daisy.
For my second card..
I used the same Daisy Daisy stencil but on a panel I created with Distress Oxide reinkers on photo paper.
For more information on how to create the background check out my blog post here.
I then used the stencil and applied Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide lightly around the stencil with a blending brush.
I stamped the butterflies from the Wings of Change set in Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide. I also used the sentiment and stamped it in black archival ink.
I love the grungy but bright look the distress oxides have on the photopaper and the different layers.
Thanks for stopping by today!
We adore these cards! So summery! So vibrant! And they showcase the new stencils wonderfully… thank you Ericka ♡
