Today I am going to share a sympathy card with you that I made using the new Nuvo Embellishment Mousse together with a Hibiscus Dreamweaver Stencil and some glitters.
I began with taping the Dreamweaver Hibiscus stencil down to back cardstock.
Mother of Pearl Embellishment Mousse was then applied through the stencil with a spatula. After applying the Mousse, remove the tape in the reverse order that it was put down, leaving the top "hinge" for the last one to come off. Place the stencil immediately in soapy water, these mousse dry quite quickly.
Next I applied Pinkerbell Glitter to the buds, Bubblegum Glitter to the flowers and Misty Isles Glitter to the stems and leaves.
I then worked on the frame, while I set the hibiscus aside to dry completely.
Ivory card was die cut with the Spellbinders Lattice Rectangles die. Working on top of a piece of protective backing from a previous project, I then laid 3/4" Tear-ific Tape on top of the frame and then turned it over, to apply the Misty Isles glitter to the die cut.
The edges were trimmed to make a rectangular frame. I'm not sure, if it was because the mousse dries so much quicker than embossing pastes, but it didn't seem to hold on to the glitter that was originally put on, so using the Nuvo Fine Tip and Medium Tip Pens, I added more of the glitters to the piece.
The frame was then attached to the hibiscus image, also the card base, by removing the protective backing from the back of the frame.
The sentiment, from Stamp Set 579: Sympathy, was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with Black Detail. I fussy cut the sentiment and then edged it with black Copic marker, before attaching to the card front with Foam Squares.
Hope you've enjoyed my share today, Come back this Saturday, the 1st, for the Sparkle N Sprinkle October Reveal and for a chance to win all five of the new Reveal sets.
Big hugs,
Shona

So pretty & so sparkly, Shona! Love that stencil & all the glitter you added to the image.
ReplyDeletewoooo! you have captured the sparkliness amazingly, Shona! It's a beautiful card (I've pinned it -- I pin most of your cards LOL) and hope to try the technique myself soon. Shona, I know you say the mousse dries quickly. Do you immediately put it in a soapy tray? Or do you wash it by hand completely instead of letting it soak? Thanks for all the great tips! hugs, de

ReplyDeleteThanks for asking Donna! As long as the stencil is kept wet, the paste will come off. If the paste dries on the stencil and we're talking less than a minute - it will not come off the stencil. Trust me!! I'll send you photos! You don't need to clean it straight away - just get it in the soapy water.
