Hello there and thank you for stopping by! Today I’m joining Altenew blog hop to celebrate theirĀ March 2017 Release. This release doesn’t include stamps, but there are fun mixed media things like stencils and spray inks to play with.
Like this project? Pin it and save for later!
CARD DETAILS
I was very excited to try new layering stencils. There are a lot of things one can do using a stencil, lots of techniques and having a layering set of stencils certainly adds a lot to all the fun! I made several cards to test out various mediums, approaches and simply to play!
Ā 
My first project, Gold Hello featuresĀ Layered Medallion A Stencil andĀ Tonic Golden Crystal Nuvo Glimmer Paste. I used Altenew’s Spicy Yogurt cardstock (I decided not to use any white today, only sentiment strips were stamped on white) and added a generous amount of paste. I love the glittery shimmery look I was able to get.
Ā 
My second project, Teal Friend featuresĀ Layered Medallion B Stencil andĀ Tonic Moonstone Nuvo Glimmer Paste. To create the background I first did some ink blending using a stencil and Altenew inks. I blended Ocean Waves and darkened the edges of my panel using Emerald. Next I added a generous amount of white translucent glimmer paste, but I only added it to some sections, I did not cover the entire background. This created a lot of interest and added tons of detail to my card.
Ā 
My third project, Pink Hello was created using both A and B stencils andĀ Tonic Moonstone Nuvo Glimmer Paste. This time I used A stencil and blended ink onto my background. I used Frosty Pink, Cotton Candy and Coral Berry. Next I switched to a B stencil and applies a generous solid layer ofĀ Moonstone paste. Because this paste is somewhat translucent you can see the ink blended background underneath it. Love this look!
To create sentiments I used Super Script and Halftone Circles.

Simple but eye-catching x
Those new stencils and shimmer colors look like great fun. I don’t mind a delicate stencil and I think they look really great when you take your time and tape it down well. I can’t wait to get my hands on some of these new colors! Thanks for the chance to win!
All your cards are beautiful. Love what you did with the Nuvo glimmer paste and the new stencil, great combination.
Love the glimmer pastes. The gold card is stunning. The teal and pink cards are interesting as they make you look twice. I hadn’t realized the stencils were layering stencils. How original! I’d love to see more examples with these.
Thank You, Yana. I love your very creative backgrounds for your cards. What gorgeous colors.
What fun! Thank you for the inspiration.
Shining, Shimmering… Splendid!
