I went through my Gel Press prints and found this one that was made with acrylic paints. I really liked how the colors blended together, almost like a sunset. I placed the stencil on top and used VersaFine Clair Inks through it. I decided to heat emboss on top, as the colors weren’t standing out quite enough, and I realized how much easier it is to clean the Clairs over VersaMark ink. There’s no sticky residue left on my stencil! I might use the Clairs a bit more often for embossing now.
The embossing powders I used are from Stampendous. They’re part of Fran’s Painted Flowers Embossing Powder Kit, and they each have several colors within each tube for really unique results. Sadly, they’re no longer available, but you can get this look by combining your own powders together. My sentiment is from Penny Black, and was cut from yellow cardstock.
I’ll be using just the fun design part of this stencil in the future, because it’s really cool! How would you use this stencil? Be sure to grab it this week before the sale is over. Please head over to the A Colorful Life Designs website to see the thousands of available stencils. Don’t forget to use my code, AlFan10 to save 10%. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
