For this release I was working with the Candy Twist Stencil.
Here is my first card using the hidden sentiment technique. It is super simple but packs a punch for a fun result.
I started by using the stencil on white paper with Distress Inks (see colors in the supply list below). Once I had the colors I wanted I cut to the appropriate width (5.5) and die cut the curved border (Pretty Pink Posh). Next I used this Thanks word die (MFT) and cut it out of the middle of the stenciled area. Next, I cut the same out in black foam paper. I glued the layers together. I set those aside and mounted my stenciled image onto a 4.25 X 5.5 card base. I added the sentiment back in and adhered it. Finally, I added some embellishments. Here is a slightly closer view:
Here is my second card which was fun to make and just a little bit different. Keep reading for the how to.
Here is how I made this card. I started by using my stencil on white with my Pebeo Gold Gilding Wax. While it was still wet, I added some little flakes of these stars. I set it aside to dry completely before cutting it out with my deckle edge die. Next, I stamped my peonies from the Pretty in Peony stamp set using versamark ink on watercolor paper and embossed in gold. Then I colored them with my zigs (pinks and peaches and mint green). Once done, I cut them out. and mounted them on the white panel. Lastly, I mounted the white panel on a mint colored cardstock.
Here is a close up:
