Say thanks with a stenciled, double-embossed, diecut Breezy Bouquet design. Keep it simple with just 2 colors on a crisp white textured background. It could be a headstart on spring cards – or warm weather wishful thinking on a cold winter day.
Hi, Jean here with techniques featuring the coordinating Breezy Bouquet design sets – 6×6 Art Stencils, 3D Embossing Folder & Die, Clear Stamps and Dies. The stencil set also includes a colored, numbered inking guidebook for perfect results!
We’re using just 1 color – Cheerful VersaFine Clair – to build inky dimensional layers on the large blossom. Use Stencil A1 to sponge the solid background onto smooth white cardstock (80# or 100#). Dry the ink with a heat-tool. Stencil the next layer of ink with Stencil A2 and dry the ink. Add the final details with Stencil A3 – then cover the flower with detail clear embossing powder, tap off the excess and heat-emboss it instead of drying the ink. Cut the cooled flower with the die from the 3D Embossing Folder Set.
Lightly spritz just the reverse side of the flower diecut with a light mist of water, then place it in the folder and pressure emboss it using the plate(s) required for your machine.
Lightly spritz both sides of white cardstock and emboss it with the Breezy Bouquet folder. If it’s still damp, gently dry it with the heat-tool. Cut it with the bouquet die from the Breezy Bouquet Clear Stamps and Die Set.
Stamp the greeting on white cardstock with Verdant VersaFine Clair. Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder. Cut it with the die from the stamp set.
Ink a scrap of white cardstock with Verdant and heat-emboss it with detail clear powder. Diecut it to create an offset shadow background for the stamped greeting.
Attach the diecuts to white A6 card (4-1/2″ x 6-1/4″). Use a cotton swab to add Verdant ink at the center. Glue green jewels in the center of the flower. Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
