I decided to create another card in honour of Earth Day. I used a distress oxide ink panel from my UFO box and one of my new stencils by Uniko (In the forest) to create this Christmas card.
I started by trimming down my inked panel and then applied heavy body paste (Stamperia) through the stencil. Since this paste dries to a creamy white, I looked for a matching card base and found this double-sided glimmer cardstock (of an unknown brand) to be the perfect colour. This card did not need anything by way of embellishing, so I simply added a sentiment strip (Christmas Wishes, Wplus9) with a gold thread nest. I popped up my panel and sentiment strip with thin foam tape.
I'm playing at:
(not entirely sure if my UFO panel fits the brief,
but I'm linking it up anyway)
Your trees look absolutely beautiful on your inked panel, Marianne! I love the crisp, clean texture you achieved with your paste and how you added the fine thread behind the sentiment! Stunning Christmas card! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CAS Stencil!

ReplyDeleteYour white paste stenciled trees look so pretty against that lovely background of green! I like the circles of gold thread behind the sentiment too - lovely design! thanks for joining us at CAS Stencil Marianne! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous forest background Marianne! Your embossed trees are just beautiful and I'm glad you gave it centre stage by not covering it up too much.

Fabulous idea ! I love it ! Thanks for sharing !
ReplyDeleteCan't beat a bit of good old texture paste to lift a card up. It's perfect - and you can't beat a Uniko stencil either. I think they are the best! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely! That background is gorgeous and it works well with the trees. One thinks of fir tree forest as dark and dense but this one feels like it's filled with fairies!
