Today’s lesson in the Online Card Classes Stenciled Class focused on using embossing pastes with stencils. I followed one of the cards shown by Debby Hughes.
I made several modifications and simplifications on my card. For one, I didn’t use any mist on the card panel like Debby did. I can see how doing so would lend a little more softness and color. Instead I used a colored card base rather than white. I used vellum, die cut with the Poppystamps Lorelai Leaf, as a substitute for one of the elements Debby used. The “hello” die cut is from Simon Says Stamp. The butterfly is cut with the Memory Box Vivienne Butterfly die cut. Like Debby, I used white embossing paste with the Hero Arts Tweed Pattern stencil.
This class is going by quickly! Right now my goal is to make a card each day and in the next several weeks I’ll revisit the techniques and designs.
Jean, your card is gorgeous. I did mine closer to what the sample was but much prefer yours with the no misting and the vellum plain and not embossed.
Your card is wonderful. I cannot imagine fussy cutting those leaves, you were smart to have a die do all the work. I think the colored card base is a big hit.
I love your take on Debbie’s card. So elegant and I love the colours you used.
Beautiful! A wonderful Case of Debby’s card with the few modifications! I like the colored card base.
Such a wonderful card to case, your version is quite lovely.
This is beautiful…lovely card!
I love the feminine details on this card, and how subtle your embossing paste is behind your elements! Really beautiful card, Jean!
