Hi there ~
Today starts a new challenge at the CAS Stencil Challenge. Our hostess is Linda, and she has chosen the theme for the month of June. Chrissie Stokes was our winner for the April Challenge, and she is our Guest Designer!
For my card, I decided to go with Perfect Pearls on a Butterfly Stencil.
For my card, I decided to go with Perfect Pearls on a Butterfly Stencil.
Using perfect pearls with stencils was a bit challenging for me. I watched the video tutorials listed on the Challenge Blog and consulted my teammate Robyn about using white cardstock. She recommended coloring the stencil first (I used colored pencils), then applying Versamark before adding perfect pearls...and it worked! Lastly, I added the sentiment and a few clear sequins, and this card was complete!
I hope you’ll check out the Challenge Blog ~ Linda has listed some great video tutorials for this technique...and of course, the DT girls have created beautiful cards to inspire everyone ~
Thanks so much for stopping by,
