Now onto the cards. I have of course done a three for all using the new XL Rose Bouquet stencil which is an approximately 6 x 9 and perfect for those slimline cards that we all love! I have three different looks for you today using this stencil…
The first is a slimline in the simplest blue and white. I have used the XL Rose Bouquet stencil along with Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide and some Iridescent Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel. Once it was dry, I cut the panel using the Slimline Nested dies. I adhered the panel to the card base with foam tape and added the Thank You sentiment from the XL Greeting 2 stamp set. To make the sentiment as glittery as my card, I stamped in the Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide and embossed it with Ranger Holographic Embossing Powder.
For the second look, I cut a panel from the Chunky A2 Scalloped dies. I applied texture paste through the XL Rose Bouquet stencil. Then I used Distress Spray Stains in Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Salvaged Patina and sprayed the entire panel and then let it dry. I added a white embossed senitment to black cardstock from the XL Greetings 2 set to make it pop.
And then something much softer for the last look. For the last card, I created a pale pink background using Distress Inks and Oxides (Tattered Rose and Kitsch Flamingo). Then I went over the panel with the XL Rose Bouquet stencil and DIstress Texture Paste in Matte. Once it was dry, I added the new Congrats On A Line die which I cut from white and white glitter cardstocks and layered them together for a little extra sparkle.
