Tiny Treasure Workshop

Hello everyone! Today’s card showcases my final card after the “Celebration Stencil Techniques” class taught by Laurel Beard for  the  Altenew Educator Certification Program ! I will admit that I don’t use stencils as much as I should..and when I do it is the very basic ink blending use that they are typically used for. I was delighted (and maybe a little scared?!) to see the various ways to use techniques in this class!  The main one I wanted to focus on was using embossing in the background. I used a gorgeous Rose gold embossing powder on the  Deco Wallpaper Stencil . I decided to give it a more “grungy” look by not embossing the whole panel and letting it fade out towards the top. I love how it turned out. I am all for adding as much shine and shimmer as possible so I love this technique.  Next I used the  Craft Your Life Project Kit: Sunshine Flowers  stamp and stencil to create the floral images. I used the layering stencil and love ho...

 I'm a creature of habit, anyone else? I feel like my card layouts were starting to look the same so I decided to mix up the layout a bit with different patterned papers. I used the "Lotus Blossom" Layering stamps from Stampin' Up for the first time and am loving how the flower turned out! I cut out the flower bud from the stem and propped it up with some foam squares. I cut out a small rectangle cardstock and mounted that on different designer papers from Stampin' Up. I decided not to embellish this card with sequins to give it a nice clean and simple look!  Thanks for stopping by! Follow me on  Instagram  for more cards, reels and crafty fun! Jill 

  This was one of the first cards I created using layering stamps sets! It used the layering stamp set, Watercolor Anemones, from WPlus9. I thought I'd experiment with using the same color layered multiple times for the flowers instead of using various layering colors. I love the subtle effect it gives! I added a few Nuvo drops on top and topped it off with a "sending you love" sentiment. This can be used for multiple occasions!
