Spotlighting with Delicate Stems

/

Hello there, Sam here. White space does an amazing job of making an image pop off the card. You also don’t always need to showcase the entire image. I framed a portion of the new Delicate Stems Impress-ion Press + Foil Plates and Delicate Stems Stencils to create a visual spotlight and showcase this beautiful floral.

 
 

Get the look:

  • Using either your better press or foil system, print or foil Delicate Stems Impress-ion Press + Foil Plates centrally on to card stock.

  • Using the stencils for Delicate Stems Stencils ink blend over the flowers in your favourite colours. For additional detail add some shading with 2 colours of ink blended over the stencil and/or markers or pencils. I used two colours per stencil. Dark Wash and Marina Madness for the smaller openings and Bali Blue and Little Boy Blue for larger openings.

  • Take the remaining light blie ink on your blending brush and lightly brush over the floral.

  • Using either your better press or foil system, print or foil ‘Thinking of You’ from Arches Thank You Impress-ion Press + Foil Plates on to card stock. Die cut.

  • Cut cream card stock to 5 1/2”x 5 1/2”. Cut a central circle that is close in size to the larger Delicate Stitches Scalloped Circle Dies. On a second piece of cream die cut the large scalloped circle die. Glue scalloped circle to the circle opening.

  • Line up and die cut a slightly larger circle die into white cardstock that is 5 1/4” x 5 1/4”. (This creates the cream border)

  • Line up the white panel over the cream panel and glue together. Using foam tape adhere the opening panel over the delicate stem floral.

  • Finally add the sentiment.

Hope you ‘enjoy’ed . Happy papercrafting : )
