Yesterday’s card challenge at Splitcoaststampers was to create a card featuring the dry embossing with a stencil technique. It has been many years since I’ve used a stencil to dry emboss card stock. Regardless, I found the challenge to be fun. When was the last time you dry embossed with a stencil?
To create this card, I used an Anna Griffin Brass Stencil and Whisper White Card Stock. With a correct die-cutting sandwich, I ran the paper and stencil through my die-cutting machine, which created an embossed piece of card stock. Turning the embossed card stock face up, I placed the stencil over the embossed areas and used three different colors of ink to color the paper. Because the embossed areas are raised, it was easy to color over the stencil onto the card stock.
I have a matching butterfly punch that I used to punch out yellow and pink butterflies. These butterflies were adhered underneath and down the sides of the embossed and colored card stock. I adhered this piece to a Ballet Blue card base and created the sentiment with a ribbon attached.
It is just that simply!!! If you’ve not tried this in a while, give it a try. It’s easy and fun.
Thanks for stopping in and I hope you return soon!
