Now coming to my cards for the hop
- I placed stencil on a white panel and applied distress oxide inks. Left it to dry.
- Then placed the stencil again but offsetting a little, then applied versamark ink and clear heat embossed.
- Then I applied grey distress oxide ink on top of this.
- Trimmed the panel a little and foam mounted it on the top folding card base.
- I stamped sentiment and and trimmed one side.
- Added few strands of copper embroidery floss and foam mounted sentiment.
- Added few enamel accents in copper colour.
Here you can make out the shine of clear heat embossing.
- Its a very simple card.
- I used another Hero arts stencil and various distress oxide inks.
- I shifted the stencil halfway before applying next colour.
- Then i trimmed the strip in 2 and foam mounted on top folding card base.
- Stamped sentiment in black and fussy cut only bottom of it and foam mounted it too.
- Added few accents in copper to embellish the card.
