Hello!
Lindsey here with a little DT inspiration using the recently released Fleur de Lis stencil and embossing paste.
I have to confess to being a little shy when it comes to stencils. When card-making I invariably turn to my stamps and get inky. But! I had a rare day off work the other week and was determined to get out of my comfort zone, so I reached for my stencils and (rather under-utilised) embossing paste.
For my first card, I sprinkled the paste with some iridescent glitter whilst it was still damp.
I love a bit of bling!
I then paired this with the lovely bold bloom from the aptly-named "Beautiful Blooms I" set.
Then a complete change for my second card with some bold masculine colours.
I waited for the embossing paste to dry, then sprinkled over some green and yellow Brushos.
The subtle sprinkled effect was quite nice but not bold enough for my taste so I spritzed the card with some water to get the colours to run and blend into each other.
Fabulously fun and vibrant!
Why not have a go at a technique you don't usually use?
You may be pleasantly surprised.
Hope you have fun!

Great cards.
ReplyDeleteI am loving both of these! The sparkle and prettiness of the first and the cool bold colour of the second. xxx
