Now over to my cards…

 

So these are the four cards that i made using the stencils from my March dt kit:

 

CARD#1: LAYERED FLOWER CARD

(HEAT-EMBOSSING TECHNIQUE)

 

To make this card, I took A2 size

Craftyscrappers premium white card stock

and Craftyscrappers Create a flower- Roses Stencil 

 

First, I inked the first layer of flower using Altenew Ink ( lightest shade of purple) as shown in below pic.

 Then I inked the second layer using Altenew’s darker shade of purple as in the pic.

 

and lastly, the final layer which I heat embossed using gold embossing powder.

 

Once satisfied, I added the leaves using the same stencil with distress ink.

Then , I rounded off  the corners of my stenciled background panel and adhered it to the purple card stock.

 

 

Finally completed it by adding die cut sentiment and some gold nuvo drops crystals here and there.This is the first time I’ve used layered stencil and really love the outcome.

I hope you like it too..:)

CARD#2: INKED BACKGROUND CARD
(DISTRESSING INK TECHNIQUE)

 

        To make this card,I took A2 size 

Craftyscrappers premium white card stock 

 

and CS Abstract patterns Stencil

 

 

 

To start with, Firstly I distress inked the background with yellow distress ink and then overlapped the inked background  with stencil and inked it with another colour as shown in below pics.

 

I repeated the step 1 using different distress inks till the end of my card stock. And it created a beautiful abstract background.. I really loved the outcome..
( I was so excited that I forgot to clicked the rest of pics… ;))

 

 

Adhered this abstract inked background on white card stock.

 Finally completed it by adding vellum, heat embossed sentiment and some nuvo drops crystals.
