Hello, friends. Lynda Joy here to bring you today's Technique Junkies blog post. My card features the Shining Stars stencil from the October release.
Technique Junkies Stamps/Stencil:
How I made it:
- On a white card stock panel, I placed the Shining Star Stencil and added gold ColorBox pigment ink through a large star. I was careful to tape off the other openings in the stencil so the ink didn't go through those to the panel. I added gold embossing powder and heated it.
- I inked a background around the star with blue distress inks, being darker around the edges, to very light where I wanted the focus on the star.
- With green distress ink, I stamped the Fir Forest , repeating and moving the stamp up and over a bit without reinking to give the appearance of receeding trees behind the row. I added this panel to a blue A2 card front.
- I added the verse from the Gifts of Christmas Set of 5 on a scrap, and added it to the card.
That's it. I hope you like it, and hope you've enjoyed this release. I am loving the stencils that complement the stamps and enhance our cards.
Thanks so much for visiting. I have another card using the same Fir Forest trees, and a verse from another new TJ stamp set, Oh Christmas Tree Set of 4.
Full directions for this card, along with details are on my blog, PaperArtsCafe today. You can find it HERE.
Thanks for stopping by!
Blessings,
Lynda Joy
