Back with more multiples, just four of this design but I'll definitely be using this stencil again next year, how gorgeous is this?!
For each of these I began by masking a border and adding a gentle ink blend, fading it out slightly in the centre. I then placed the stencil over the top and ink blended again in a darker shade of red. I then had to be patient and wait for the ink to dry, and added some anti-static powder before stamping and heat embossing the sentiment in gold.
Materials used:
- Stencil: Clearly Besotted - Be Merry
- Stamp: Clearly Besotted - Holiday Sentiments
- Ink: Distress Ink - Aged Mahogany, Barn Door; VersaMark
- Embossing Powder: Wow! - Metallic Gold Rich
