Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!
It's time for a new challenge over at
This week challenge #269 is....
(Stencils & Dies Only! No Stamping!)
Here is the project that I created for this challenge:
I die cut my white card layer with a stitched rectangle die. I took a bit of embossing paste and mixed it with some Cracked Pistachio Distress ink and got this really light "minty" color. I used a chevron stencil and spread my embossing paste over the top. Once I had the thickness I wanted, I put it aside and let it dry a little while I worked on the other elements of the card. I die cut my ''hello" four times and then layered them on top of each other so that it had the thickness of a light chipboard. I added some wink of stella for a little bit of shimmer on my word. I created an ombre effect onto some scrap white paper using the Cracked Pistachio ink and then cut out a strip to place my greeting onto. I added a bit of crochet thread and mounted it to a lace tag. I created a Kraft card base and then started building up my card, popping the greeting layer up with some foam tape. I finished off my card with a few enamel dots.
Neglected items from my stash that I used are:
--Embossing paste! I love it but don't use it nearly enough
--Stencil. I bought this particular stencil the beginning of Summer and never used it until this challenge.

WOW!! Stacey, I absolutely love the stenciling you did with the embossing paste, the color you created is simply lovely. This is something I need to try, I've seen gorgeous cards like yours done with embossing paste but I do not own any stencils or paste so I need to remedy that ASAP!!!
I love all the beautiful details on your card, but that stenciling is just gorgeous.
Hugs,
Maria.
sooooooooooooooo very lovely! every single element is JUST RIGHT!
Stacey, i LOVE this!!! The color-combo is fabulous and the design is, like, hip and classy at the same time, and there's a touch of shabby with the stitching and doily die-- but not too much, just enough for the sweet feel! Well done!
wow, this is amazing! Love this card!!
