I couldn’t resist taking another go at the lesson from today’s Online Card Classes Stenciled class. This time I created a card based on the one shown by Julie Ebersole.
Julie misted the same stencil for her card. I don’t mist (or more accurately, I’ve tried to mist and it was a mess!). So I inked my card with distress inks instead. And I used a much bolder sentiment – I really like the black with the sunshine ink colors.
I think if I were to redo my earlier card, I’d use darker colors for the inking, so that the white heat-embossed sentiment would be more visible. I’m also beginning to realize that you have to consider how much of the stencil image will show through. For example, this stencil gives a generous amount of background whereas the stencil I used for my earlier card did not. Lots to learn!
Supplies:
Jean, I love this card. I need to get a couple more stencils. Love this chevron one.
I am with you, no spraying – I make a big enough mess with all the other stuff. Love the yellow and black, this card is beautiful.
Nice job on Julie’s card! This is very bold and striking.
Oh man! I love that vibrant yellow next to the black, too!! I’m with you, Jean – misting is a mess! But I tried it, and actually kind of liked it! But I think I love this more – the contrast between the black and the yellow is delicious!! Sooo looking forward to seeing the other lovelies that you create for the class!! XO
Looks great! I love the contrast of the yellow and black!
This looks great, Jean! I’m learning a lot from YOU in this class, so keep up the good work! Love the black against the yellow–stunning!
Really like this card, especially the colour combo. Must buy some stencils, the effect is fantastic on your card. Can imagine I would be the same as you with the ‘mist’, I would be ‘misting’ everything!!!
Lessons learned, right? Nevertheless, this card is stunning, Jean! I love that you chose to ink/blend your background and the black sentiment looks fabulous against it! Another beautiful work of art!
