So after receiving my stencil, which was a background stencil and my silver texture paste, I had to really think how I could use this in my design, so I hope you like what I came up with.
I made a Mother's Day card
Using a Create and Craft half scallop card blank, some black, white and mint green card stock.
I started by placing the stencil on the black card stock and taping it down with masking tape. I then ran the texture paste over the stencil, removed the tap and stencil and left to dry. I cut a border around this and layered this onto white card. I used a base layer of black underneath and wrapped a mint ribbon around this, placing pearl strings on top of this. I cut the image out with my scan n cut, stamped the sentiment and placed this onto a MFT die base layering the mint using the same die to the back. I placed this onto the card and finished off with a lovely bow a pearl medallion and some all important tonic pearl drops to match the card.
Now I am sure you want to continue on your hop so here is the order and the next hop link is at the bottom of the post, have fun
