That's What Friends Are For
Last night I went back to Day 1 of the stenciling classes & today I finished a card made with Debby's technique of sponging over a stencil & using a vellum sentiment to let the inking show through. I'm entering the challenge at ODBD where the requirement is to use only red, pink & white. I sponged Tim Holtz bubble stencil with Distress Inks festive berries, worn lipstick & spun sugar. The stamp was one of my first ODBD purchases, as I always loved that song. Dry embossing wasn't part of the video & I wondered if it would detract from the stencil. To my eye the card needed something so I did it anyway & I like it. Finished off with a pink & white floss bow, a pearl & 2 COPIC colored sequins.
So much info just in the videos I've gotten to so far. It's going to take awhile to try out all the techniques, but I already have another card started. Thanks so much for visiting my blog.
Edited to add: Entering SSS Wednesday & SSS Work It Wednesday, since using stencils is new to me.
Oooo, Greta, I love how you inked those dots! And the vellum sentiment looks fabulous over top! I've never taken an online class either. Looks like you're having lots of fun with it! YAY!

ReplyDeleteI really like how you added the dry embossing- I don't think it detracts from the stenciled part at all! I always associate vellum sentiments with you- such a part of your pretty style Greta:)
