Imagine Crafts New StazOn Pads from Tsukineko |
Stencils and Dies Prize Package |
Thursdays are the Dream Teams normal day for posting ideas based on our monthly challenge, so today I chose to incorporate the hop and our challenge of "Old, New, Borrowed, Blue" in my creation. Here it is:
Fairy flower circle - Glossy Blue Embossing Paste with Crystal glitter Fan pattern and Petals background - VersaFine Majestic Blue Letterpress Technique |
- Tap the VersaFine Majestic Blue ink pad all over the back of the stencil
- Carefully place it on a clean paper towel on the large platform of a die cut machine
- Place white cardstock over the ink and hold in place while covering it with the rubber embossing mat
- Add two cutting plates (I use ones with no cuts when I emboss) and run through your machine
- Remove the embossed image and place it face up on the table
- Use a 3/4" stencil brush to brush a light coat of the Majestic Blue over the embossed areas
- Trim to fit, mount on white cardstock that has been edged with the blue ink
Paste embossing:
- Tape the Fairy flower stencil to white cardstock with removable tape
- Use a palette knife and paste spreader to apply a coat of Glossy Blue Embossing Paste over the stencil
- Remove the stencil and place in water for cleaning
- Immediately sprinkle the wet paste with Crystal glitter, let dry
- Edge a slightly larger square of white cardstock with the blue ink
- Mount the Fairy flower to the edged square and then onto the card
Just Imagine the possibilities of what everyone else has created!
