Masking and stencil


Hello,
Today I am sharing my card at Less is More Challenge #387 and AAA Cards CAS Game 132.

Here is my card:

I saw the sketch at Less is More and really liked it but it took me a while to come up with my take on it. There are some wonderful interpretations in the gallery which are quite inspiring.


 To make my card I masked the shape and then spread a transparent gloss texture paste through a stencil. Once it was dry I used metallic Faber-Castell Gelatos to add the colour. I have only just got these and I love them already, they are so easy to use and they blend wonderfully.

I used a bit of coloured string that I found in my stash to make the bow and stuck it down following the line of the mask, added the sentiment (heat embossed in white) and placed a tiny heart on the bow to Finnish. The string proved to be very furry so I had to give it a trim! The blue frame is made with blueberry metallic gelatos on the base card.

Here are a couple of close-ups:








Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate.

    Very unique take on the sketch! Use of the string adds a lot of interest to the sketch and dimension and texture to your CAS design. Well done! Thanks for joining us at Less Is More!
