Stenciled Gilded Grace by April Antonio

Happy Thursday! Today I am sharing a project using the beautiful, Gilded Grace Inside stencil set using some beautiful warm, Fall colors. I’ve been on a stenciling kick lately and am really excited about this stencil set.

To start this card I used the Herbarium Plate Layer A die with an embossing mat to dry emboss it onto the a piece of A2 white cardstock.

Next, I took a piece of white cardstock along with a stencil mat (I like the Waffle Flower one) and put the most open, top stencil layer from the Gilded Grace Inside Stencil set and secured the edges with tape. I used my lightest color ink to fill in the stencil with my blending brushes.

Next, I took the middle stencil and used my medium ink, and then used my darkest ink with the last stencil (the one that is the least open).

I then used a larger stencil die and cut out the stenciled circle.

I am also fairly new hot foiling and am loving it! I used the Hot Foil Sugar Script Sentiments 1 and hot foil the ‘just a note’ sentiment with gold foil on white cardstock.

I adhered the stenciled circle to my embossed card front, and the sentiment on top of that.

If you have not tried some of the Fairy Crystals I would highly recommend using them! I used some sparkle brown crystals from the Autumn Fairy Crystals set at set places around the circle.

That is it! I hope this project has inspired you to go and have fun creating!
