Recently I was lucky enough to win the challenge at CAS Stencil. It was for using Embossing Paste with a stencil and this was the card chosen.
As well as receiving some lovely goodies, I was asked to do a Guest Designer spot for their challenge, (which this time is to use Perfect Pearls or Pearl EX) and so I thought that I would use a similar layout to that card.
For this new card I made a stencil from vellum, again using a Sizzix die.
I laid the stencil over my card and tamped it with a Versamark inkpad. After removing the stencil I added Perfect Pearls in Pewter using a soft brush. To set the medium, I wafted the card through a mist of water from a spray bottle, not spraying directly onto the card.
I cut the Iris using a Penny Black die, from a piece of deep grey card to complement the pewter Perfect Pearls and added a layered die cut sentiment which completed the card!
These are such great challenges, I do hope you will join in with us!
