the release
If you haven’t seen the release you can check all the products HERE. Today I am showcasing one of my favorite products from this release, the Leafy Frame stencil. I used three different techniques to achieve different looks and to give you ideas on how to make the most of this stencil.
card 1
For my first card I used distress oxide inks over the stencil. Use your favorite color combination and you have a lovely background perfect for any occasion.
card 2
On this card I combined two different colors of dylusions shimmer sprays! Love the effect and how clean and crisp the white leaves look against those colors.
card 3
For my third card I applied glimmer paste over the stencil. A gorgeous color and a lovely texture and shine!

I love how you created three cards with one stencil. The blue glimmer paste is so pretty. Thanks for always inspiring me to get more adventurous with my crafting.

Lovely stencil. I could see using it on my art journal as a frame or a focal point.
WOW Vicky, these are all so beautiful, it is a shame that the actual shimmer doesn’t translate in photos. I think this is something we all find frustrating when photographing our cards.
Gorgeous cards! Love all the different ways you colored your stencils, especially the shimmer spray.
Hi Vicky, I always enjoy seeing your creativity. Thx for sharing, have a great weekend!
Hi Vicky, I love the way you give us a different perspective on the same stencil which makes me look at my old stencils in new ways! The blue card for some reason reminds me of Island breezes! Love the video!
