Hello! Here today with a Christmas card for the Geometric Challenge at A Blog Named Hero. I made a Christmas tree stencil using a Hero Arts digital file for Silhouette and die cut it from Silhouette stencil material. I taped down a piece of bristol cardstock than drew a light line with a pencil and ruler across it so I could line up my stencil straight. The stencil is sticky backed which made it easy to place. I than used stencil brushes to brush on distress ink. I choose the colors of distress ink by looking on Pinterest for inspiration. I have seen some beautiful blends of Distress Ink created by someone who uses the user name "Thecolorsofmagic". I let the distress ink dry overnight before stamping and embossing the Hero Arts (from the stamp set "Color Layering Dimensional Bird") sentiment in gold.
What a gorgeous blend of colors, Kelly! I love your stenciled chevron tree. I've got to get some of that stencil material for the silhouette!
ReplyDeleteHey Kelly - thanks so much for joining us this month at A Blog Named Hero. Your geometric card has a great mod feeling with the gradient of colors and the die cut tree. Really love the glitter too. So glad you were able to participate and hope you'll join us again next month!
