I created this card using a stencil and hot foil sentiment from Altenew and Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inks.
I hope you’re having a beautiful day!!!
To begin the card, I put a piece of cardstock on a (8”x10”) gel plate to hold the cardstock securely. I placed the stencil on top and added a piece of low-tack painter’s tape, on the top and bottom of the stencil, to secure it. (I have a separate gel plate that I use specifically for this.)
Next, I put a strip of each distress ink color on my glass media mat; spritzed them with water; and applied the distress inks to the stencil using TH Blending Tools. I carefully pulled the stencil off and immediately put it in a small container of water to clean it. To clean the gel plate, I put it beneath the cold water kitchen faucet. The distress inks came off easily.
I used my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System to foil the sentiment and my Big Shot to die cut it. Spellbinders Paper Arts has a ‘Glimmer Hot Foil System Quick Start Guide‘ that explains this process.
To finish the card, I attached the sentiment to the cardstock using Scor-Tape, followed by the cardstock to a black cardstock base.
