A project from our live show CREATE AND CRAFT - Join Simon from AVAGO-INK for his latest products and demo's - Broadcast 5th May · 05/05/2022
Design an elegant card using a cherry blossom stencil with pink and turquoise inking, finished with a glittery border and sentiment. The stencil technique creates beautiful, professional-looking results without requiring advanced skills.
Place your cherry blossom stencil on your card base.
Brush pink ink through the stencil, applying colour more vibrant at the edges and fading towards the centre.
Brush the colour downwards to the bottom of the stencil.
Add turquoise ink to the fan element of the stencil, brushing upwards to break up the design.
Carefully remove the stencil to reveal the finished background.
Mount the stencilled background onto black card as a matte layer.
Mount the black layer onto your card base.
Cut a rectangle for your sentiment panel.
Stamp 'you make me happy' in black ink on the sentiment rectangle.
Attach the sentiment panel to the card.
Run pink ink around the edges of the sentiment panel to create a vibrant border.
Apply glue around the edge of the sentiment panel.
Sprinkle frosted glitter onto the glued edge and tap off the excess.
Tuck a feather behind the sentiment panel to add dimension.
Add a pre-coloured geisha girl element to the card.
Add a touch of pink ink to the geisha element to tie in the colours.
