Welcome back to Magenta Super Saturday – thank you for
visiting today.
I have one last shaving cream technique to share with you today. I’m using a stencil again, but this time I’ve added some gold embossing using the “Flowers All Over” stencil.
To create this card, I started by using my powder tool on a
piece of white, 80# cardstock. I taped
the stencil to the cardstock then colored in the flowers and shapes openings
with a VersaMark pen. I worked on one
section at a time – coloring approximately a quarter of the stencil openings. I removed the stencil and covered the inked area with gold embossing powder. After heat setting the embossing powder, I allowed
it to cool for a few seconds, then replaced the stencil and repeated the
process until all the stencil openings had been embossed. I did several of these pieces because I
wanted to make a bunch of cards at one time.
To create the colored background you see in the picture, I prepared my shaving cream and alcohol ink using the process you can see here. After the cardstock was dry, I cut the panels to 4 ¼” x 4 ¼”. (I could have started with this size cardstock but I have a bunch of pre-cut A2 cardstock that I grabbed when I started these cards.)
Next, I cut the panels across the diagonal, creating two triangle pieces. I also cut some 4 ¼” square gold cardstock into triangles in the same way.
Use scissors to trim off the edges at the top and bottom of the card. I also stamped the sentiment onto a piece of white cardstock and embossed with gold embossing powder. I cut the sentiment piece and a piece of gold cardstock with oval dies, then adhered them to the front of the card.
