OCC Stenciled: Day Four

Today I CASEd Julie Ebersole’s card in the Online Card Classes Stenciled Class. I’ve been waiting for that card since I first saw the class sneaks!

OCC Stenciled: Day Four

I just love the stencil pattern, the colors, the card design and the bird! I dry-embossed the white linen cardstock with the stencil, and then, with the template in place, the distress inks were applied. The effect of the dry embossing is subtle.

I made very few changes to Julie’s design, although I did use a different, but similar sentiment. I don’t own Worn Lipstick Distress Ink (how did that happen?) but combined Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry for the pink. I did make a boo boo – I used MT washi tape, which must not be as wide as the Lifestyle Crafts sticky tape she used. At any rate, I had to cut the embossed/inked panel even more, so I ended up shortening the card as well. It’s about 3 3/4″ wide by 5″ tall. Next time, I’ll measure the tape before I cut!

Supplies:
Hero Arts Bird Stamp
Crafters Workshop Echoes 6×6 Template
Hero Arts All Occasion Messages
Distress Inks

  1. Beautiful Jean. You nailed it! I cased this card also, but finished too late to photograph. Will post tomorrow.
