Craft, Cocktails and Cards with some sparkle! {Using a 6x6 stencil on a slimline card}

 Hello crafty friends! Today, I have a sparkly slimline card to share with you! I used the Jess Francisco and Maker Forte collaboration “Take a Sip” Stamp Set along with the new Vintage Vines square stencil.

To make this card, I started out by blending Pop Art color hive ink through the Vintage Vines stencil. Since it is a square stencil, I needed to block the bottom of the card from getting ink overflow when I was blending. To do this, I placed a post it note at the bottom.

Then, I flipped the stencil upside down and matched it up with the bottom stenciled part. I used the post it note to protect the part that was already ink blended. 

Once I had the whole panel covered with the stencil, I repeated the process with Gina K glitter gel. Once I finished the top half of the panel with Glitter Gel, I put the card panel to the side to completely dry. Otherwise, the gel will stick to the post it note and it will rip off the card when I add the bottom half of the glitter gel. When the gel was dry, I finished the bottom half of the panel with the gel. Then, put it to the side to dry.

Next, I stamped two images from the Take a Sip stamp set using Eclipse Black ink. I colored them in and fussy cut them. Then, I foiled one of the sentiments from the Sip Happens sentiments with Gina K Mango Fancy Foil. I cut a piece of Welsh Dragon cardstock to 3 5/8″ x 8 3/8″ to mat under the stenciled panel. I added foam tape to adhere it to an Ultra White card base cut to 8 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ and scored at 3 3/4″. 

To finish the card, I popped the images and sentiment up on foam tape. Then, I adhered them to the card. Lastly, I added Before the Storm and Solar Flair Crown Jewel Gems using the Rainbow Gem Picker

Thank you so much for stopping by!
