- Easel Double Embossed Stars - ECD With Sympathy - Perhaps They Are Not Stars card
Created: July 18, 2017 I was in a mood to try a double embossing through a stencil... It's hard to see, but in real life you can and also feel the height of the stars. I'm using an A Way With Words die "With Sympathy" 2pce die and stencil "Butterfly and Stars Spray" from Elizabeth Craft Designs, also available on Quietfire Design HERE. and HERE And using a quote stamp from Quietfire Design, ("Perhaps They Are Not Stars...");
|
Scored and folded
my light toned lavender cardstock to create the easel, cutting another piece the same size as
card for the front.
On white cardstock created the star spray background - see full details below - finally inking the stars with Versamark and embossing with Emerald Creek "Iridescent Shimmer" Stamped the quote with Distress Picket Fence and embossed with white embossing powder. Added a few punched stars from a clear glittered/shimmer plastic. |
|
On the floor: die cut the words from a deeper lavender cardstock. Adhered a piece of net ribbon to the floor, then an off cut from my above background, then the die cut words. Added some of the punched stars |
Placed the stencil on my white
cardstock and inked with Versamark direct to paper. |
Direct to paper with Stormy Sky and then with Chipped Sapphire |
Sponged with Seedless Preserves to give a more blended look, then continue Direct to paper with Dusty Concord |
Last color Blueprint Sketch. Wiped
off the excess of colors with a paper towel. |
Layered the background between some
newsprint and using a hot dry iron, ironed off the clear
embossing, moving the piece into a new clean area and continued to
iron off the embossing until all was ironed off. |
Turned the background over and
placed on a light box (use a window if you don't have a light box)
and with a small balled stylus trace the stars to emboss. |
Wipe the background with an antic
static powder. Place the stencil back in place over the raised
embossed stars. Ink with Versamark or other clear embossing ink. |
