If you know me, I like to take a new product and use it in a few different ways…so today I have created a trio of cards for you using the new Geometric Arc stencil. There are so many fun things you can do with stencils and use different mediums for completely different looks.
For the first card, I applied Stickles Supernova Glitter Gel through the Geometric Arc stencil over black cardstock for a dramatic look. This gel has lots of sparkle and shine and is perfect for a festive card. To finish it, I simply added the CZ Design HBD die.
For my second card, I created a shaker by doing some Distress Oxide Blending (Antique Linen, Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo and Pumice Stone) through the Geometric Arc stencil and cutting a circle in the center of the card. I added the shaker to a panel of white cardstock and added a sentiment and some frosty beverages from the CZ Design Happy Hour set.
And for the final card, something a little different and super easy. I created a circular card and for my colorful panel created a monoprint by spraying the Geometric Arc stencil with Distress Spray Stains (Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Peacock Feathers) and printing in onto my paper. I finished the card with the Good Vibes die. I love the shape of this fun little card!
The next stop on the hop is the amazing Lea Lawson. Be sure to stop at all the stops for your chance to win!
