Hello friends. I'm so thrilled to be participating in the Altenew's early August release Be Bold and Be Beautiful! This release includes fabulous florals, a geometric background, and even a set of sentiments perfect for the bibliophile in your life! We know you will love creating all kinds of inspiring projects with the stamps, dies, stencils, and embossing folders in this release. It's time to get crafty!
The hop starts HERE. You should have arrived from Mindy Eggen's Blog.
I'll start with the Intricate Mandela Stencil. This delicate stencil packs a punch when ink blending!
Next I played with some different stencil techniques. I laid the Intricate Mandela Stencil onto 5.5 x 4.25 Classic Crest 80 lb. Cardstock and ran the Turquoise, Razzleberry and Maple Yellow inks in stripes over the Stencil. I spritzed with water and laid a paper towel on top to soak up the extra ink. Note the links go to the ink cube families. Many inks are available as separate larger ink pads.
This is the second-generation dry embossed piece I created by spritzing the stencil one more time and dry embossing. I love the ethereal look of this piece. The Hugs Die from the Hello and Hugs Stamp and Die Set was cut in holographic cardstock and black cardstock and mounted slightly off so the black border shows. The sentiment is from that set white heat embossed on black cardstock.
