Happy Sunday everyone,

 

I have created a card using the Hero Arts Love Swirls Stencil today.  The pattern on the stencil is already very vibrant and I don’t want to hide it too much, so just added a sentiment on vellum.  Let’s take a look.

My process:

• Place 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inch white card stock on stencil, centering it and secure with washi tape.  (Note that the stencil is 5 1/4 by 6 1/2, larger than the quarter fold size.  So this stencil would be great for a larger layout.)
• Flip the stencil over, use inking tool and sponge Wild Honey and Ripe Persimmon onto paper as shown.
• Remove stencil.  Heat emboss the image with clear EP.
• Stamp and heat emboss in white the sentiment from the Hero Arts Love by Lia clear stamp set on vellum strip longer than 4 1/4 in.
• Draw lines on edges of vellum using white gel pen.
• Fold both ends of vellum and tuck behind the stenciled panel, secure with tape.
• Round corner of stenciled panel and adhere to white card base.
• Embellish with sequins.
