KimG - Celebration Stencil Techniques

Well hello there! It has been a very busy few weeks since my last post. Between my work and my son's school activities, there hasn't been a lot of time for crafting.

I finally found some time to take the Celebration Stencil Techniques class. I love stencils, so this class certainly did not disappoint. I am always happy to learn new techniques or figure out how to improve on what I am doing.

I only have a few stencils from Altenew, so I reached for my favorite one "Layered Dahlia". I just love how they layer together to give your project dimension and flare.

I had not played with my Nuvo Embossing Mousse in quite some time, so I dug it out to use for this card. I ended up using my fingers to apply the mousse as I wanted a very light layer of the mousse and I did a better job with my finger than with a palette knife. I stenciled the first layer with Altenew's Gray Denim and then used Nuvo's Cornflower Blue for my top layer. Then I popped my sentiment up with some foam tape. I am a sucker for grays paired with a color.

The colours you have used are gorgeous! Love the shimmer of the mousse and the stark white. Please leave a little more space between where your project ends and where your photo ends so that the eyes have a little more area to settle. Also, when you submit your project, remember to title it as Your Name-Course Name for our convenience.
Thank you for entering your work to the AECP assignment gallery.
