Floating Strips Stencil Card How-To:
-
Gather Your Scraps
For this card, I used a mix of leftover pieces from previous projects:
- Shaving cream background circle, stamped with a greeting (Happiest Day) in Early Espresso ink. View Shaving Cream Background How-to Video HERE
- Stencil scrap from the Floating Strips Sunrise card. View More Floating Strips Creations HERE
2 .Create the Stencil Layer
- Place the stencil over the shaving cream circle.
- Use small Foam Adhesive Strips or Mini Dimensionals on the edges to pop it up and create dimension.3
3.Assemble the Card
- Attach the stenciled piece to an Early Espresso mat.
- Add to Lemon Lolly mat, then attach to Early Espresso card base.
4.Finish with Embellishments
- Add metallic gems to complete the look.
Note: Due to the stencil’s size, this card is smaller than usual, measuring 4″ x 3 1/4″.
