Stenciled Online Card Class -First Class

Hello!

Today was the first class for the Stenciled Online Card Class.  I have always like stenciling and you can do it in so many mediums.  The lessons today were great, I learned many new techniques and reinforced some techniques that I knew already.

OK for the card below, I tried it a couple of different ways but was never happy with the end result.  I really wanted to emboss it with clear embossing powder but no matter which way I did it, I wasn't happy. (I guess if I wasn't determined to  use this stencil I could have made it work ) :)  So I ended up embossing with white embossing powder (Zing).  I am not sure where I got the bird stencil, so I can't  give you a brand name. The background is the Falling Snow stencil from SSS.  I added some sequins and mounted on white card stock and the card base is the same navy blue as the first panel. 

This is one of the techniques I learned today and I think I will use a version of this again on another card.    I can't wait for the rest of the classes.  I learn so much and can't wait for each course that is offered. I hope to post another card tomorrow after the second lesson. 

Have a great day!

  2. I love the card and I think you are so so brave to try it. I ordered the same stencil online. when it came, its called a mask 54651. it is mask design template branch. also has number 210206. I got mine at stuffforsb. its made by prima. I looked at it and my eyes glazed over. I might try to mask off most of it and just use a dauber with distress stamp ink. everytime I look at it, I get more confused. the birds are so wonderful. l really like how you did it.

    1. Well I won't say I didn't have mishaps along the line trying to figure it out, but I do like the end result. And thank you for the name of the stencil because I lost the original packaging! Thank you for your kind words.
