I’m not good at using stencils and ink sprays, but it was fun experimenting with new goodies. After a few practice pieces, I decided to do some stenciling with embossing paste and ink sprays. I created two cards with subtle ombre background using new stencils: Layered Medallion stencil ALayered Medallion stencil B & new ink sprays: Frosty PinkWarm Sunshine

Using embossing paste with a stencil is a great way to add texture to your project. I used the ink spray to tint my embossing paste. Depending on how much ink you add to the embossing paste, you can adjust the color intensity. You can go further by adding other elements like glitter or embossing powder, if you want to.

If you don’t have embossing paste, you can make your own at home. Just google homemade embossing paste, you can easily find tons of recipes. I used to make my own embossing paste using baking soda and white acrylic paint. It worked almost the same.

I made a video tutorial to show you how to create my card. I share lots of tips you won’t want miss – you can watch it here or on my YouTube channel:

DIY Handmade Cards with Ombre Pasted Background using Stencils & Ink Sprays 

  1. Place the Ranger craft mat on your desk. This mat has a slick surface so it’s easy to clean especially when you work with embossing paste. If you don’t have this mat, place the scrap paper on your work surface. 
  2. Tape the Layered Medallion stencil A over 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using washi tape to prevent the stencil from shifting when applying embossing paste. 
  3. Pick up some Ranger Texture Paste with a spatula and mix it with Altenew Metallic Ink Spray Frost Pink after shaking it well. I used a teaspoon to measure the amount of ink. If you don’t like a shimmery look, you can use it without shaking. Depending on how much pigment you add to the embossing paste, you can adjust the color intensity
  4. Apply the colored embossing paste with the spatula over the stencil toward one direction. Make sure not to work too fast – otherwise, you may ruin your project as the embossing paste can smear under the stencil especially when you use the stencil which has a delicate design.
  5. Add more amount of Altenew Metallic Ink Spray Frost Pink to the embossing paste and apply it to below the first line of stenciled background. I used the same ink spray to create a subtle ombre background. If you want to create a background with more vibrant colors, you can switch to another color like orange or red. It’s up to you.
  6. Repeat the process until you complete the whole background, making sure to add more pigment along the way.
  7. After applying the third shade of pink color, go over all over the surface with the spatula to make it smooth. 
  8. Set aside the stenciled panel and air dry for about a half hour before moving on the next step.
  9. Trim the panel into slightly smaller than A2 card size using Tim Holtz paper trimmer and mount it on an A2 size top folding card using 3M Foam Tape.
  10. Prep a piece of white cardstock with EK Success embossing powder tool to prevent any stray powder from sticking to unwanted areas. Stamp the word from Altenew Super Script stamp set with Versamak Watermark ink on the cardstock.
  11. Sprinkle Ranger super fine gold embossing powder over the stamped word and tap the excess powder off the cardstock. Use a small paint brush and tweezer to flick away any stray powder.
  12. Heat set the word with Hero Arts Embossing Gun until it’s completely melted.
  13. Die cut the word using Altenew Super Script die set and Spellbinders Platinum Diecut Machine
  14. Heat emboss the sentiment from Altenew Halftone Circles stamp set with Ranger super fine white embossing powderon a piece of black cardstock.
  15. Adhere the die-cut word and a strip of sentiemnt on the card front using foam squares. Add some gold metallic thread behind the die-cut.
  16. Finish off the card with some Crystal Clear Sequins from Dress My Craft.

    Для идеального полового акта потребуется высокий уровень потенции, она достигает не только в молодом возрасте, но может радовать мужчину и после шестидесяти. Повышение мужской силы предполагает максимальное укрепление полового органа и пролонгирование длительности сексуального акта. Ранее было названо быстрое и эффективное средство моментально поднять потенцию. Для сомневающихся  в своём выборе существует «Сугубо Мужской Форум» – это форум о лечении импотенции, единственное в своём роде уникальное место, где обсуждаются сугубо мужские вопросы. Где можно поделиться своим проблемами и получить помощь в интересующих вопросах. https://www.thejourneyvictorious.com/community/profile/maurineibbott5/ Женщина, распространяющая вокруг себя аромат розы, может рассчитывать на повышенное внимание со стороны желанного мужчины, так как афродизиак делает её привлекательной в глазах мужчин. Афродизиаки – это вещества, стимулирующие или усиливающие половое влечение или половую активность. Продавцы духов сегодня часто предлагают парфюмерную продукцию, содержащую “феромоны”. Они утверждают, что подобные товары способны усиливать привлекательность у противоположного пола “на подсознательном уровне” и действуют как афродизиак. Афродизиаками принято называть продукты или вещества, запускающие процеcc сексуального возбуждения в организме мужчин и женщин. Это могут быть продукты, масла, ароматы или специи… Даже некоторые звуки способны пробудить в нас сексуальное желание!

    Can You Hear Me Now? is played by assigning one person to be the speaker and the rest of the team will be the artists. The speaker uses an image from a random image generator. The mission is to have the artists draw that image successfully only by listening to the speaker’s description of the image. The twist is that the speaker must only describe the image through geometric shapes. If you have a printer, you’re off to a flying start when it comes to a few rounds of Bingo. Website myfreebingocards.com will guide you through the making and organising of the game, depending on how many rounds you want and people you’ll have playing. You can even upgrade to a paid version that provides a set of Bingo cards from $10 (Dh37) on the site. The darker the better when it comes to this twisted game. There’s a free version of Cards Against Humanity available online called Remote Insensitivity, which can be downloaded and played via people’s phones. Fill in the blanks using a selection of virtual cards and create the most offensive sentences possible, the more outrageous the better. It’s not for everyone, and some people might find it a little uncomfortable to play with their parents, but if you’re into it, it’s a real winner. http://franciscouwrk543108.dgbloggers.com/5224720/family-fun-zoom-games 2) Start the game by showing the zoomed in photos and have people try and guess what they are. Although video game drinking games can be created for almost any game, try picking one you and your friends are playing right now (Animal Crossing: New Horizons, anyone?). You can set up FaceTime or Zoom on your phone, tablet, or laptop to see and hear each other while playing. And all you have to do is come up with five to 10 “rules” that will require taking a sip of your drink while playing. Despite the benefits of remote work (e.g., higher productivity, greater job satisfaction, and reduced employee turnover), the fact is it’s hard to build relationships from afar. There is no water cooler to gather around, and you can’t strike up a spontaneous conversation at your co-workers’ desks. Building on the game’s success (they have sold more than 100,000 games in 33 countries), this team building truly is one of a kind. The self service format alternating between training via pre-recorded videos and practice on Totem’s specially designed all in one platform means you can hit the ground running for teams large or small.
