Hello there and thank you for stopping by! Today I’m joining Altenew blog hop to celebrate their March 2017 Release. This release doesn’t include stamps, but there are fun mixed media things like stencils and spray inks to play with.

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!
My first project, Gold Hello features Layered Medallion A Stencil and 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.
My second project, Teal Friend features Layered Medallion B Stencil and 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.
My third project, Pink Hello was created using both A and B stencils and 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 of 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.
