Happy Monday, crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a card I made featuring Spellbinders beautiful Windmills and Tulips Press + Foil Plate and Stencil Bundle by Yana Smakula. I love how Spellbinders is now making plates that can be pressed and/or foiled! You get to choose!
I am a huge fan of layering stencils and so enjoy the process of adding ink layer by layer! Every time I pull off a stencil seeing the new layer of ink just makes me smile!
This time, I chose to foil the Windmills and Tulips press plate. I used 80# Neenah and Black Glimmer Foil with my Glimmer Hot Foil Machine to achieve the super crisp and slightly shiny outline of the images.
Next I used blending brushes to add various inks through each layer of the six layers of the Layered Windmills and Tulips stencil set. All of the ink colors I used are in the list below. I used sets of coordinating inks to achieve shading with the darker inks.
I used a brown Copic marker to make the doors and windows on the windmills a bit darker. I think adding these small details make cards that more special!
I added a sentiment that is from the La Dolce Vita Sentiments that is a sweet birthday sentiment. This is a Press Plate that will press/foil nine sentiments in one pass. There is a die included that cuts out each sentiment in one pass! I love having multiple sentiments already created and ready to use!
A trip to see a field of tulips with windmills in real life is certainly a bucket-list item! I hope I have time to use this Windmills and Tulips set again--I'm thinking maybe pink tulips!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
