A project from our live show ONE DAY SPECIAL - Exclusive by Sarah Gray from Funky Fossil - Broadcast 13th September 24 · 13/09/2024 · watch it from 34:45
Create a stunning autumnal card featuring a beautiful leaf stencil design with luxurious sparkly texture. Using a dark brown card base, you'll layer three gorgeous Stella paste colours - champagne-on-ice, spellbound, and ruby slipper - through a 6x6 inch leaf stencil to achieve a rich, multi-tonal shimmering background. This elegant mixed media technique combines stencilling and texture paste blending for a sophisticated handmade card perfect for any occasion.
Position the 6x6 inch leaf stencil on dark brown cardstock and secure it in place with masking tape at the top and bottom edges.
