It’s my day to share with you again… some more stenciled inspiration. Our challenge this month is to use a stencil on your project.
The other day I saw a video by Ingrid Blackburn where she used embossing paste with a stencil, shook on some Colourbursts/Brusho’s and spritzed with water. I have something called Pixie Powder which is similar to these with lots of mica powder in them. I thought I’d give it a go.
It has produced such a pretty pale pastel background as I went lightly with the powders. Did get a bit of seepage but it adds to the whole look. I have used Hero Arts Swirl Stencil (currently out of stock but you can do a special order – check out the store HERE)
Once my panel had dried, I die cut it with a rectangle die from DieNamics (MFT) and layered onto black then onto a white base. I die cut the Hero Arts Butterfly Fancy Die from black card. The sentiment is from THIS Hero Arts stamp and die set. (currently on sale in the A2Z store!)

That is beautiful. I always seem to add too much water when I do backgrounds but this does look awesome with the Color Bursts. I am just getting enthused about using stencils so maybe I will have to try this myself sometime. I love your card you made.
