Hello Everyone! It's Saturday and it happens to be my Mother-in-Laws birthday today. We are taking her out to Brazilian Barbecue (Churrasco) for dinner tonight and I am excited! For her birthday I've made her a stash of Thank You cards (her request) and I'm looking forward to giving them to her.
Before we head out I wanted to share this fun card I made to play along with this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge to use more than one stencil. This is such a cool challenge and even though I love stencils I sometimes forget to use them.
For this card I used my gel plate and Dina Wakely Media paints to print multiple layers of color using different stencils onto deli paper (that paper your sandwich comes wrapped in at the deli). Then I cut the paper up and chose this piece for my card front. I used my Tim Holtz collage medium to attach it to my card base.
I love gel printing because getting to see all of the layers of color and texture is so cool to me. My background is bright and happy so I decided that adding some drawing and the sentiment bits in black would really make it pop.
The sentiment is heat embossed in white on black cardstock. The "YOU" was die cut three time, glued together and then coated in Tonic Nuvo Crystal Effects for a thick, glossy look. I also added star sequins but I didn't like the hole in the center of them so I took a black glaze pen and covered up the holes.
That's all for today you guys as I've got to get some other things done before we head out to dinner this evening. I hope you'll head over to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge and check out all of the amazing stenciled projects over there.
Most of the products I've used today are from Ranger Ink. Just in case you'd like to check out the Dina Wakely paints and other products that I've used today I am going to add a link below for you to check it all out.
I hope you all have an amazing day today!
Hasta la vista babies!
