{Spotlight Project} Deepti Shares a Fun Stencil Technique!



Hello, friends! Deepti here and welcome to another spotlight feature. Today I am showcasing a fun technique with stencil and embossing paste.

Here's a look into all the finished card:





STEP 1
Take a white card stock panel. Stamp the sentiments (Sentiment Builders: Love) to create the base.



STEP 2
Take the stencil (ARTplorations Hearts All Over), lay it on this stamped panel, and partially apply the translucent embossing paste and leave it to dry.



STEP 3
Once dried, ink the panel with distress ink. The embossing paste will resist the ink and display the text underneath.



STEP 4
Finally, add some water splatter, distress the edges of this panel, and embellish the panel with stamped and fussy cut hearts to create a banner.



Here's the finished look once again :)



That finishes my spotlight feature :) I hope you enjoyed it and will give this a try. Happy crafting!
