Holographic Paper and Stencil Paste

Hey Everybody,

Today I have two cards for you using holographic silver paper and stencil paste. The first one, I stamped the cardinals and colored them with watercolor pencils then used a blender pen to blend the colors. I colored stencil paste with purple paint. I cut out the holographic paper with a die and layered it behind the image panel. I dry embossed the card base with Lacy Brocade embossing folder to go with the lace stencil I used. I found the perfect sentiment but don't know the company who made it. I rounded the edges of the sentiment panel with a corner rounder.

Here is my teapot for the letter T, in the alphabet challenge. The challenge was to make a card with a teapot.
 I added stencil paste to my stencil and layered it onto my holographic paper. I colored the image with SU watercolor pencils then used a blender pen. I added the images with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in gorgeous grape ink on gorgeous grape paper. The grape paper was glued to the holographic paper then added to a gorgeous grape card base.

I was looking to see how I could use this holographic paper. I knew I could dry emboss it but wasn't sure how it would look if I used stencil paste on it.  First I tried white stencil paste, then I got brave and added a bit of purple acrylic paint to the white paste.

I like how both of these turned out. I like the look of the stencil paste. You just have to give it time to dry. I put these up out of the way so I wouldn't put my arm in them before they dried. LOL

After I finished with the stencils, I ran them under the tap and washed them before the pasted had a chance to dry. You don't want the paste drying on your stencil.  

If you don't have stencil paste, check out this video on how to make some with just two ingredients.

So there you have it, using stencil paste with holographic paper. I hope you give this a try.

 Blessings,
Sue
