I had so much fun today experimenting with stencils, ink and relief paste !
I first tried mixing acrylic paint with clear relief paste, it gives a really vibrant look, but tends to run beneath the stencil giving an untidy effect.
I then did the stencilling first with Colorbox ink and added the clear relief paste afterwards. This gives a much cleaner look... like this :
My card was inspired by the following challenges:
Less is more ~ Stencilling
Freshly made sketches ~ layout
Addicted to stamps ~ CAS
Thanks for visiting me today!
FAB make and what a gorgeous colour you chose too

Beauty! I love the faded look :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! Love those shapes! Have to try this method, like paste, but use it alone or with embossing powder.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty card,Hannelie!! I love the shine!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at FMS!!
Gorgeous! I love the vibrant color and your cut design is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLovely juicy stencilling, Hannelie!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful...love that color.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous take on the fms Hannelie! Love the subtle sheen and dimension you've created with that paste!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. The way the stenciling just tapers off at the edges is a very cool effect.
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful with the clear paste over the top, Hannelie. Love the juicy berry colour.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at ATSM and Less is More this week, Anita x
Simply AWESOME Hannelie.
ReplyDeleteYou rock every challenge! Loving the berry colour and the shine you've created over the stencilling too. Yummy. Great work and a fun challenge combo too.

ReplyDeleteThis is stunning, gorgeous colour and fun to try something new. Thanks for joining us at ATsm
ReplyDeleteWat een mooie kaart! Blijf het zelf heerlijk vinden met stencils te werken en deze met stempels te combineren. En ja, de paste er bovenop ziet er gaaf uit! Fijn weekend verder!
ReplyDeleteLove the intensity of the color doing your paste this way! Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I never thought of inking first then topping with embossing paste. Another "duh" moment! Thanks for sharing the idea!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool, Hannelie! Such a great idea to do the ink first...you can shade and fade as much as you want, and then get that brilliant shine. I love this technique. And in perfect colors too. Have a great week. Bev
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun look! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteOkay...this is just way too neato-mosquito! I would love to 'feel' the texture in real life! Love the split panel and LOVE the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteOMG Hannelie, you have made so many beautiful cards lately- love your style!
