Do you have a drawer full of stencils? I decided to grab one of my favorites to create this Mixed Media 100% Unique Card with some shimmery ink. Hi, Margie here today! Let me show you my process.
Mixed Media 100% Unique Card Front
Grab an A2-size (5.5 x 4.25-inch) top-fold white cardstock card base and a dotted stencil. Use the shimmer ink. I love this ink color because it has movement (changes color from a dark color to gold).
Designer’s Tip: Use the E-Z Dots® Repositionable Refillable Dispenser to secure your stencil down when done, simply rub off the dots.
Assemble the 100% Unique Card
Die-cut three small postage-edge rectangles in patterned papers. Center and put them three in a row with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. I punched out a sentiment from the same paper pad and popped it up with several 3D Foam Squares White Small. Place it on the lower center of the postage rectangles.
Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Circles
Instead of using sequins, gems or enamal dots, I use the 3D Foam Circles White Mix as accents. Using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique, I placed several small 3D Foam Circles at each side of the sentiment.
Next, remove the top liner and place a piece of gold foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors with the color side facing you over the exposed adhesive. Rub the foil to transfer the color to the circles. Done!
I hope you enjoyed this Mixed Media 100% Unique Card Tutorial. Give these tips a try!
