What:
I love stencils, but I don’t get round to using them very often so I made a point of creating a card with a stencilled background. The clear-embossed top layer on the flowers doesn’t show up very well in the photo, but it looks lovely and shiny in real life. I ended up masking the flowers twice — after doing the stencilling on the background and revealing the flowers I just wasn’t happy with it so I masked them off again and added some Distress ink over the top.
Inspired by:
Originally spotted on Instagram, this card using heat embossing for the top layer of layered flowers struck me as a really clever idea.
