Maria here....Welcome to the Stencil Test Drive from Jessica Sporn
When I saw Jessica's Frames stencil I immediately thought papercrafting and cards. I wanted to make a card, but I wanted to make something different for you and show you how to use your stencils in a different way.
Embossing!
I....now stay with me and don't get frightened.....cut my stencil apart!
Using my Cuttlebug Embossing Machine, I used a plain white piece of cardstock and layered it in the Cuttlebug the following way from the top down.
Stencil, paper, C Plate, B Plate, A Plate.
The result....
Using Viva Decor Gold Metallic Rub in copper, I lightly rubbed the product over the embossed design to bring out the embossing even more. I then used a Zig Pen in the valleys to define even more.
The corner piece on the Frame stencil became another embellishment on my card. This time using traditional paint through the stencil I stenciled the corners. Added accents with a Viva Decor Pearl Pen added a finishing touch.
Sentiment and bird stamp by Melody Ross for Unity.
