Today is 11-11-11 and I am back to crafting after several days of being preoccupied with family health issues. It's a challenge to be creative when our minds are somehwere else. Do you think so?
I love adding texture in my cards; feeling the raised surfaces make me happy. Today, I felt like Dry Embossing using my Martha Stewart's Kit. It comes with 2 metal plates with various designs and borders, a stylus, cards and envelopes.
You will need a table lamp to make tracing easier. A glass table with a light underneath would work well too. If it's bright and sunny outside, you may try taping your stencil on your window and emboss - just be mindful of your neighbors who might find you a bit odd.
I added Ranger's distress ink in Antique Linen to the border and highlighted the
design using colored pencils.
The design was layered on a green mat and finally on an ivory colored cardstock.
A punched out vase adhered by dimensional adhesive completes the design.
This card is for an 80+ old lady who will be celebrating her birthday tomorrow.
Accents were added using Tombow ABT markers.
Happy weekend!
Enjoy!
