DIY Stencil

Hello,

I hope you are having a great day.

I liked the class where freezer paper was used and adhered to a panel with an iron. I made a card using that technique, but I also liked the lesson where you create your own stencil. In the lesson, she used normal card stock to create the stencil, but I used some Eclipse Masking paper to create my stencil.

I cut the leaf from Altenew's Garden Treasure Dies several times from a piece of Eclipse Masking Paper slightly larger than a card panel. I cut more leaves on one end than the other, then laid the masking paper on a Neenah Solar White card panel.

I blended Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Moss, and Hunter Green Altenew crisp dye inks, working from the bottom with the lighter ink to the darker at the top.

I used the leaf stamp from the coordinating stamp set with VersaMark ink and gold heat embossed them.

I used the inks to blend round the outside of the card base and also a strip of Neenah card stock for the sentiment.















I stamped the sentiment from Altenew's Mega Succulent stamp set with VersaMark ink and gold heat embossed it. It did not show up as much as I wanted so I stamped it again but offset slightly, with the VersaMark ink and white heat embossed it.

I cut a piece of velum to layer the sentiment strip on top of.

I adhered 3M foam tape to the back of the sentiment and adhered it to the card with some gold threads underneath it.

Finally, I added some gold sequins to the panel and then I adhered it to the card base.
