Today, I’m sharing a card created with one of the new stamp sets (and its companion die cut set) from Paper Smooches.
For the background, I applied Ferro acrylic paint through a Simon Says Stamp star stencil. The Ferro paint was demonstrated during the Online Card Classes Stenciled Class. It’s quite thick – as thick as embossing paste. Application was super easy and much easier than coloring embossing paste with a metallic (which I actually haven’t tried, although I have colored the embossing paste with acrylic paint). I also tried heat-embossing white paste (applied through the stencil) with silver powder; another technique demonstrated in the Stenciled class. It worked fine, but I prefer the look that the Ferro provides over the embossing powder technique, which tends to bubble the embossing powder during the heating process.
I colored the owls with Copics, cut them with the Owl Icons die, and attached them to the die cut branch with dimensional adhesive.
Supplies:
I love the look of the gold Ferro on your stars…the texture is amazing and the color is so pretty against the blue background! I have the copper Ferro and love playing with it, so I know what you mean…Such a cute image on your card, Jean and I love your gold sentiment, too!
love your star stenciling… so pretty… perfect for the owls! Fab card Jean!
