Hello my crafty friends!
Today I’m sharing a card I did for the Celebration: Stencil
Techniques class for Altenew’s Educator Certification Program. My inspiration for this card was Altenew’s
Classy Stripes Stencil. I love this
stencil! You can easily change the feel
of a card or a scrapbook page with this one stencil. Vertical bars, depending
on the colour and saturation, can have a wide range of mood effect from light
and fun to dark and dramatic and anything in between. Using this stencil, I was able to create an
adorable country themed encouragement card.
I started this card by cutting my cardstock a little larger than
the 6 x 5 7/8” stencil. I did this so I
could have something to anchor the stencil to.
I use a light (temporary)
adhesive spray to cover one side of the stencil. I followed the directions on the spray adhesive
container for setting time. I use adhesive
spray instead of tape to decrease the possibility of the stencil lifting when I’m
inking. WARNING: Read the
directions for use and use spray adhesives in WELL VENTILATED areas.
After I am done inking, I place the stencil
in light soapy water to clean it. I placed the stencil on to my #65 white card stock piece
(tacky side to cardstock). I used Altenew’s Maple Yellow mini ink cube and a
blending tool and started at one end of the cardstock with very light pressure
applying a light covering of ink. As I
progressed toward the middle, I used heavier pressure to lay down more colour. Moving away from the middle of the card
(toward the opposite end), I used very light pressure again creating the gradient
look. I rotated the stencil 90 degrees
and repeated the same process. I cut the inked cardstock down so that the
most concentrated area of ink was the focal point of the background. For the flowers I used Altenew’s Daisy Stamp
Set. This is one of the mini layering stamp
sets. There are 3 layers for both the
main image and the leaf. I stamped the Daisies using the Warm Gray Mini
Cube Set. From the Warm Gray set, I
omitted the Lava Rock to keep the Daisies light. and I used the Green Valley Mini Cube Set to
stamp the leaves. I left out the Firefly mini cube. There is no die for the (mini) Daisy stamp
set, so I cut them out using my Brother Scan N Cut. You can also cut them the images out manually. The sentiment is from the Bamboo Rose Stamp
Set. I used my Misti Stamp Tool and the Evening
Gray ink cube to stamp the sentiment several times. After I arranged the Daisies and leaves, I
trimmed the sentiment and adhered them all down with small pieces of double-sided
tape. I added some Fun Foam to the back
of the finished card front and mounted that on to an A2 sized side fold card
base.
