Stencilled Background

The final challenge for World Cardmaking Day on StampTV was to use a stencil to make your background. I am also entering this in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - Anything Goes.

I stencilled the background using a few colours of ink. I decided to cut off a piece so that I had a place to stamp my sentiment. I added a piece of brown cardstock along the edge and matted the background with the same colour. I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with a sparkly powder. It is hard to take a good picture but I think you can see the sparkle. I used an ivory card base and added a few sequins to finish it off.

I used these supplies:

Gina K. Designs: Ivory, Dark Chocolate and Prickly Pear cardstock
