Today, I’m sharing two cards using the Birds & Leaves stencil from the Hero Arts Handmade for Christmas 2014 Catalog.
For the first card, I used gold Ferro paint (so not technically embossing paste) through the stencil and finished the card with a sentiment from “Very Merry Christmas,” one of my favorite holiday sentiment sets from Hero Arts. I used a double frame to showcase the stenciled image.
For the second card, I applied Ranger’s texture paste through the stencil, which I “water” colored with Distress markers after the paste was dry. This was a much more ambitious card than the first one! My first try was a mess as the watercolor seeped through. I was much more careful the second go round, although there’s still room for improvement.
Supplies:
Love both cards…but the second one has to be my favorite. Your placement of the stencil images and the coloring are just fabulous!!
I love that gold Ferro, so pretty!
Love that stencil!!! What an awesome image, both in gold and in color. I enjoy using embossing paste, texture, etc. It’s so addicting!
Jean, love both cards you created with this stencil…two stunning looks.
Beautiful Jean! Lovely, festive and elegant!
