Sequins, Stencils and Splatters!

A couple of weeks ago I shared the first card I made using stencils and splatters together. Feeling like I could really design many different cards using the same concept, I made two more birthday cards with sequins and paint splatters.  Sequins were just the perfect touch for finishing off both cards!

I mixed modeling paste with Distress Paint to create the textured base to use with the stencil in this first card.  This mixture dries quickly. I then splattered Distress Paints by spraying a small amount of the paint off of a paint brush.  Random placement of sequins gave this card just the perfect touch of bling. 

Supplies:

Core'dinations 110lb Smooth Cardstock

The Crafter's Workshop "Specimens" Stencil

Dick Blick Molding Paste

Tim Holtz Distress Paints & Archival Ink by Ranger

PaperTrey Ink Stamp
Misc Sequins

My next card was total trial and error, but oh so fun to make!  I must have thrown away three stenciled pieces before I got the feel I wanted.

 

To create the pie chart, I heavily covered a piece of Core'dinations 110lb Smooth Cardstock with two different colored mists.  I then used Inka Gold Metallic Rub with the stencil over the misted cardstock.  This Metallic Rub is the bomb!  Totally dries without rubbing off.  The sentiment is stamped and heat embossed onto a piece of Core'dinations Vellum. Did you know they have vellum now?

TGIF!  I love Fridays just as much as I love creating pretty layouts and using fun techniques. 

In my video today I share how I was able to quickly put a themed layout together 

using Quick Quotes new Bundles and Cracklin' Rose Collection.  I also share how 

easy it is to stencil with Quick Quotes Powder Puff Chalking Inks. 

See how the music note stencil I used with Dusty Rose Chalking Ink  

perfectly compliments the Quick Quotes sentiment I used on my layout.  

I used the same stencil technique from my video to accent the flowers in this birthday card.  Using  a birthday sentiment from the new Quick Quotes Sentiments Bundles,  papers that match the sentiment perfectly from Quick Quotes new Stowaway Collection and templates by Kiwi Lane, I was able to create a quick & colorful birthday card.    

I designed the flowers using Kiwi Lane's Tiny Wildflower Template (3T, 6T ). Then using the same stenciling technique featured in today's video, I added an extra touch of color to the flowers with punchenella and Quick Quotes Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Amaretto and Blue Hawaiian. 

Kiwi Lane Templates would make awesome stencils, too!  Try mixing it up by pairing them with Quick Quotes Powder Puff Chalking Ink the next time you need to add a splash of color to your next project.
