Rainbow Swirl




It's been well over a year since I replaced card making with mask making! Now that I have a good mask inventory to share with people (should they be needed!) I'm getting back to my favorite craft/art, card making. It feels good.

Stencils and dry embossing are lots of fun, so I've tried both here. I masked off a 1" strip on the left of a piece of Neenah Classic Crest, and blended on distress oxide inks in rainbow colors. Once the ink was dry, I ran the card through my embossing machine using a Hero Arts stencil. I love the result! I added a sentiment using one of CZ Design's word stamp sets, then dressed it up a little with just a few pieces of bling. I kept it CAS to enter AAA Card's current challenge.

Stenciled Rainbow Dahlias


I created this card with Altenew's Dahlia stencil and distress oxide inks. It needed a little something more, so I ran it through my embossing machine using one of my favorite texture plates. Then I added some "dew drops" using crystals to match the rainbow colors of the petals. Easy, simple! Thanks for looking.
