Stenciling with Embossing Paste and Spectrum Noir Alcohol Ink Refills, how to do it—
- Place the stencil on white matte cardstock and tack down with stencil tape or a post it note.
- Deposit a bit of gold embossing paste onto a palette or craft sheet. Add a drop of JG1, then mix with the palette knife. Use your finger to apply the paste through the stencil. Remove the stencil.
- While the embossing paste is wet, sprinkle some areas with embossing powder. Tap off excess.
- Deposit a few drops of LG3 onto a palette and spritz with rubbing alcohol. Use the toothbrush to spatter onto the cardstock. Let dry.
- Stamp “with thanks” with brown. Edge the piece with brown ink, then wrap with hemp twine. Glue a piece of hammered gold paper across the front of the kraft card, then brown cardstock horizontally across the card front. Glue the embossed piece in the center. Ink the edges of the card with brown. Tie a knot in gold ribbon and glue as shown.
