Hello there and thank you for stopping by! Today I’m joining Altenew blog hop to celebrate their March 2017 Release. This release doesn’t include stamps, but there are fun mixed media things like stencils and spray inks to play with.
Like this project? Pin it and save for later!
CARD DETAILS
I was very excited to try new layering stencils. There are a lot of things one can do using a stencil, lots of techniques and having a layering set of stencils certainly adds a lot to all the fun! I made several cards to test out various mediums, approaches and simply to play!
My first project, Gold Hello features Layered Medallion A Stencil and Tonic Golden Crystal Nuvo Glimmer Paste. I used Altenew’s Spicy Yogurt cardstock (I decided not to use any white today, only sentiment strips were stamped on white) and added a generous amount of paste. I love the glittery shimmery look I was able to get.
My second project, Teal Friend features Layered Medallion B Stencil and Tonic Moonstone Nuvo Glimmer Paste. To create the background I first did some ink blending using a stencil and Altenew inks. I blended Ocean Waves and darkened the edges of my panel using Emerald. Next I added a generous amount of white translucent glimmer paste, but I only added it to some sections, I did not cover the entire background. This created a lot of interest and added tons of detail to my card.
My third project, Pink Hello was created using both A and B stencils and Tonic Moonstone Nuvo Glimmer Paste. This time I used A stencil and blended ink onto my background. I used Frosty Pink, Cotton Candy and Coral Berry. Next I switched to a B stencil and applies a generous solid layer of Moonstone paste. Because this paste is somewhat translucent you can see the ink blended background underneath it. Love this look!
To create sentiments I used Super Script and Halftone Circles.

Very pretty cards!
Wow! These look So Rich with the depth of texture. Thanks for the inspiration.
Nice cards. I really like these new stencils from Altenew
Interesting backgrounds! I’ve not tried the Nuvo shimmer paste, but obviously I should!
Just gorgeous!
Love this technique! These stencils are now on my wish list!
I love your cards. I love how you added an extra layer of texture. Stunning 🙂
These layers are stunning!
These cards are gorgeous!! Love the way you used the paste for shimmer and dimension with the stencils – I’m loving these layerable stencils from Altenew and you’re inspiring me to use my Nuvo paste more often!
I would never have thought about layering the stencils for such amazing results. Thanks for sharing!
I really like the use of the stencils
Lovely cards! I am loving my Altenew stamps and the new release!
You used something no one else did, the Glimmer Paste, something i had never heard of before tonight. I went to the Simon Says site and saw that you can use it on fabric, which I love! I also stamp on fabric and something that you can use on fabric and paper is a win/win in my book! I don’t need to buy 2 different things to use on both. I love how that Glimmer Paste looks on your cards! They make your background look so sparkly and pretty and I really love that! I know just what I want when I win and if I don’t win, I am buying some anyway even though I shouldn’t. Great job, Yana! I’ll bet you had fun playing with everything and I can’t wait until I can play too.
Love the dimension and texture!
Beautiful! using 2 layers of stencils is very clever and the result is quite spectacular!
