Hello crafty friends!
It’s Jess from JessCrafts.com. I am very excited to be guest designing for
StencilGirl Products. I love working with stencils in my cardmaking. Creating
unique fun backgrounds with stencils is the most common way I use stencils. I
also love to include cutesy stamps in my cardmaking and so today I am sharing a
video tutorial for how I created this fiery background for a Valentine’s Card
featuring Jessica Sporn's Cascading Feathers stencil.
Stencils often look
great on a white background but building up layers around them can give a
background so much more interest. Of course you should always follow your
inspiration when creating. While the stencil is named to have feathers I
immediately saw flames and was able to create that look for my background. I
could easily switch up the context and use the same stencil as intended to add
texture to a bird.
To create this
background I used watercolor paper and Distress Stains to create an ombre
background. Then I put the stencil over it and blended in two different colors
of red ink. To finish it off I flicked on some red stain. I love to make my
projects cute and playful to I added this punny sentiment and a cute stamp.
Thank you so much to
StencilGirl for letting me join you and to all of you for checking out my
project. I hope that some of you will follow along with me on social media.
