Stencil Theme Week- Day 6

Good morning! Heather here and I have two fun cards to share with you today for Stencil Theme Week using a fun summery stencils from Pretty Pink Posh!

For both of these cards I used the beautiful Tropical Background stencil, and a fun technique combining white embossing paste with watercolors!

For both of these cards, I added embossing paste over watercolor paper in a bit of a random pattern – not going entirely to the edges, then set them aside to dry thoroughly.

Once those panels had dried, I colored over the top of each one with 3 different shades of watercolors for an ombre color effect!

The embossing paste absorbs the watercolor a bit differently, so it gives a great variation of colors – I love the texture it adds to these!

I set those aside to dry, and die cut the fun Aloha Shaker Die from white cardstock, then coated it with embossing ink, sprinkled on sparkly white embossing powder, and heat set. This gives them a fun, frosty, and glittery look!

Finished off by mounting those Aloha sentiments over the top of the now-dry backgrounds with foam adhesive. Once I added the foam adhesive to the back of the Aloha sentiments, I added a bit of liquid glue before adhering to the backgrounds to make certain they would adhere firmly over the embossing paste. Finished off with coordinating card bases and a few sequins from the Sparkling Clear Sequin Mix!

Thanks so much for stopping by today – have an absolutely wonderful day!
