Stencils two ways using inks and chroma glaze

Both of my cards using similar supplies.

First, I started by taking a pre-cut slim line card base and used some washi tape to hold the Slimline Umbrella Stencil in place. I used a blending brush with Marsala Surface Ink,  I repeated this with the 6x6 Umbrella Stencil and an white card panel measuring 4.5" x 5.5."  Before I removed my stencil, I used a palette knife to spread some Pearl Chroma Glaze over the top of both blended panels and stencils.  I used a small layer, spreading in only one direction and not worrying if it covered the entire blended area.  I carefully removed the stencils, set the panels aside to dry and took the stencils to the sink to wash.

Next, I stamped two of the images from the Mother's Day stamp set with Raven detail ink on Perfect Blend Alcohol Paper. I smooshed some Marsala, Grass Stain, and Maple Surface Ink on my glass mat.  Using a water brush, I picked up the ink and painted the flowers with Marsala, the Grass Stain in the leaves and stems, and the Maple for the center of the big flower and the branch. Then I used my Brutus Monroe scissors, to fussy cut out both flowered images.  \

Once my card panels were dry (I usually leave them overnight), I used the Slim line and 2nd largest Rectangle foundation dies to cut them down slightly.  Then, I decided I wanted to mat my panels before I put them on my card base. I cut down some Marsala Card stock.  For my slim line card, I cut the card stock to slightly smaller than 3.5" x 8.5" and for my A2 panel to 4.25" x 5.25."


I used a piece of scrap Marsala cut to 9/16" x 8-7/8," and stamped the Thinking of You sentiment from the stamp set with Brutus Monroe Embossing Ink. I covered it with Alabaster Embossing Powder and heat set it.  I did the same thing for the Thank you sentiment and cut it out with Circle Foundation die.




Next, I attached my panels to my mats and my white card bases.  For my slim line card, I attached the sentiment strip to the panel first and then my image, using liquid glue.  For the A2 Card I attached the image first and then my sentiment also using liquid glue.  For a finishing touch, I used some clear glaze from my stash to add drops to the center of the flowers on my slim line card.

Here is a close up of the shine from the Chroma glaze and the liquid pearls I added to the center of the flowers.
