Hello and Happy weekend to everybody!
It's time for another DT-Inspiration!
As always I made a card with a stencil for you. This time it's a quick one-layer card with a special "twist"!
For this design I thought a square card would be a perfect frame.
I marked the center of the card front, then placed my
Nature Treasures II Leaf-Stencil.
The end of the stam I placed on the mark and fixed it with a
fine needle - later I rotated the stencil around this needle, so I was sure to get the end of the stem always on the exact same spot!
I blended the three Oxide Inks with my blending brushes, beginning with the lightest one. When the first leaf was finished, I repeated the process on the opposite side. So it was easier to place the other 4 leaves without any exact measuring between these two leaves (eyeballing was enough).
Cause I liked the pattern in the center I used Vellum to create the circle with the heat embossed sentiment to keep it in sight. The two parts of the sentiment are from the set
Simply Said Birthday. I cut the original sentiments with my scissors and combined them differently. Don't be afraid to stretch your stamps this way! If you cut them, you can always re-arrange them on an acrylic block with the help of the cutting line to the original form!)
To avoid any see-through glue I adhered the three sequins-flowers with a strong liquid glue on the edge of the Vellum and then I adhered the sequins with dimensional glue-dots on the card. The centers of these flower sequins I decorated with yellow Stickles (also to avoid any dust sticking to the glue dots behind later).
To finish the card I added some party pink Nuvo drops and some more yellow Stickles dots on the leaves as kind of buds.
I was surprised how quickly this card was finished! You needn't do many fancy things around your rotated stencil, cause this is the focal point!
This technique offers so many possibilities! I think I'll try some more of them soon - with different stencils and maybe also with a rotation-point outside of the coloured stencil-area (the center will be blank then).
I hope I could inspire you to stretch your creative muscles to try something new with your stencils!
You are invited to tell us in the comments which Uniko Stencils you used or want to use to give this technique a try!
Have a great and creative day!
