| I saw a very interesting technique called faux vellum technique from Inkylicious on a blog by Sue of Zouave cards. Sue used the "right" items for her card, as she bought the kit from UK. I decided to use what I had! So mine looks nothing like it really. Will try it again though, with other stamps! it was fun. Now for the... How to! |
 |
| I cut a die cut a stencil with Nellie Snellen Straight Eastern Oval dies Think we under-use dies as stencils, they really are a cheap way to get a stencil! Then used white chalk pad and DI ink daubers to shade around the inside of the Kraft Card, next time thought would try the White Linen Dylusions Spray as have some of that. I think it would be quicker. Two things to note when using sprays: 1. Keep your finger tip/ nail away from the end of the nozzle, easily done and ends up with blobs. 2. Spray from height, ie not close, as it gives a more even sweeping spray. I do it outside, but for water based ones I know one crafter uses her shower recess! |

| Outline before removing the mask/ stencil the outside of the bauble. Note the stencil (left) is cut out of a cereal box scrap. :D |
 |
| Sprayed the masked image before removing stencil with perfect pearls for shimmer. Also used: **Our Daily Bread stamps Christmas Flourished Verses ** Memory Box Star of Wonder Die cut from white fun foam scrap **Bought from Bec, available from Bec, but not on site. |
The stamp I used was tree from SU "Lovely as a tree", stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa. Also added some "Fluffy stuff" by Woodware.
Thanks

ReplyDeleteGorgus card, Shaz! Love the faux vellum technique!!
ReplyDeleteA great technique Shaz and your card looks beautiful. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteHi Shaz, a great card, I've seen the 'one' that comes as a kit and thought it would be fairly easy to do with other shapes, your card has turned out beautifully, I had to giggle about the cereal box, I also use them to create templates, rest messy inky cardstock off and such... thank you for the inspiration and tutorial... have a great week... Megan
ReplyDeleteP.S. I hope you haven't been blown away with the high winds we've been having
Shaz this is amazing - love the finished card, and your instructions were very clear, thanks so much.

This is a beautiful card Shaz! I love everything about it. Blogger won't let me post for some reason. As long as it doesn't lose my contact list on my side bar I'll keep commenting on all of my friends blogs, but you probably won't see a post from me for a while. It's so frustrating! Blessings, Betsy
ReplyDeleteSo glad you shared this with us. And yes, we are under using our stash, it's so inspirational to see all the uses of an item. As for your card it turned out looking gorgeous and classy, pure and peaceful.
ReplyDeletethat looks fabulous, I have a card in my head using my dies as a stencil but haven't had a chance to give it a try, but this sure gives me inspiration to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteWow Shaz - brilliant! And thank you so much for sharing how you did it too. I have bits to make a similar card - plus the same pieces in the Toy Box to give away - when I get round to it!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you in the Playground.
