MIXED MEDIA CARDS/THE CRAFTER'S WORKSHOP

Hi everyone. I'm back with two more pretty cards using stencil butters and the TCW959 Rainbow Branch Circle stencil. I was curious to see how this stencil would look for a card... I love all of the different shapes on this stencil and this stencil looks so pretty with the stencil butter!

To begin, I Sizzix to cut two A2 frames using metal frame dies.

Then, I placed the card onto a sticky mat and then covered the card panel using the TCW959 Rainbow Branch Circle stencil. I love the sticky mat because it holds the stencil down so that I can achieve a crisp image! These mats are awesome and if you don't have one, you may want to grab one. Click here to shop at Brutus Monroe through my affiliate link. The product number for the mat is BRU7920. The price you pay is not higher, I may get compensated for promoting their product.

Next, I used a palette knife to add a dab of stencil butter down the edge of the card.

After that, I used a wide scraper tool to smear the stencil butter across the stencil. You can use a regular palette knife, too. I scraped the excess stencil butter all over the stencil to mix the colors up a little bit to add depth.

Once I was satisfied with the blending of the stencil butters, I carefully lifted the stencil from the bottom up to avoid smearing the stencil butter.

Ah, I just love all of the patterns and colors here. Super pretty! I carefully lifted the card panel from the sticky mat and placed it aside to dry.

While the card panel was drying, I used my Sizzix to cut a butterfly using a metal die and then used my fingers to cover the die using the Champagne Gold Modeling Paste.

I used a matte gel to glue the butterfly to the center of the card and then added the embellishments.

I can't wait to send these cards to a few special people in my life. They will surely bring a smile to their faces. Thank you for visiting today!
