Stencils, Diecuts and Watercolored Backgrounds

 

Start a summer card with a watercolored background, stencil Bubbles over it, add some diecuts and a dry-embossed background – it's quick, easy and sure to impress!  Jean Okimoto here – let's get started…

Memory Box Products

• Bubbles Designer Stencil 88574
• Line Up Designer Stencil 88551
• Precious Daisies Die 98813
• Hello Script Die 98580
• Parchment Cardstock (side-folded 4.25" x 5.5" card)
• Parchment Envelope

Lightly spritz white cardstock with water.  Ink a 4" soft rubber brayer with Spectrum Kaleidacolor and spritz it.  Roll the inks onto the damp watercolor paper.  Air-dry it for a few minutes, then heatset it.  

Stencil Bubbles (avoid the big dot near the bottom right corner) with Versamark and emboss it with detail gold powder.  

Diecut 2 big and 1 small flower from the Precious Daisies set.  Snip off the "hanger" and layer the three flowers.  Attach a green sequin.  Attach a 1/2" wide strip of Scor-Tape horizontally behind gold mirror cardstock and diecut Hello Script.

Dry-emboss Line Up on Parchment Cardstock.  Here's the stacking sequence I used for the Grand Calibur:

• Gray Base Plate
• Memory Box Metal Adapter Plate
• Stencil
• Cardstock
• Rubber Embossing Mat
• Light Pink Embossing Plate

Assemble the card – attach the flower with foam dots.  Coordinate the card with a matching Parchment Envelope.
