Handmade Flower card with a gorgeous freebie from Papercraft Magazine.

How to dry emboss with stencils.

Today I share with you a floral card using dry embossing with stencil technique. I used a freebie from the Papercrafter Magazine’s website. You can download the image here.

Now let’s get into it.

• A square base card. You need a piece of white card stock measuring 26 centimetres by 13 centimetres. Score at the long side at 13 centimetres. Now you have your base card.
• A piece of white card stock measuring 12,7 centimetres by 12,7 centimetres.
• A piece of white card stock measuring 12,5 centimetres by 12,5 centimetres. This is the piece we are going to dry emboss on.
• DCP paper to print your digital stamp on and the sentiments.

I printed my image on DCP paper. I coloured the image with my alcohol markers.

I used the following colour combinations:

• Vase: Dark Sky (191), Midi Sky (190), Blue Sky (76) and Baby Boy (144).
• Pink flowers: Magenta Deep (292), Azalea Purple (87), Fluor Coral Pink (121), Rose Pink (08) and Pale Pink (09).
• Yellow leaves: Deep Yellow (32), Light Cantaloupe (275) and Lemon Yellow (35).
• Purple berries: Electric Purple (159), Blue Grey Purple (158).
• Green Leaves: Forest Green (50), Grass Green (47) and Weeds Green (162).

For the background, I used a stencil to emboss with. For this, you need your die-cutting machine and an embossing mat. First, I spray the paper with water on both sides. On the plate of the embossing machine, I start my sandwich with the embossing mat. On top of the embossing mat, I place my paper and my stencil. On top of that, I put a piece of paper and now run it through my die-cutting machine. Now you have this beautiful, embossed look.

Now it’s time to assemble the card. First, I take my piece of white card stock measuring 12,7 centimeters by 12,7 centimeters. I color the edge with my Dark Sky alcohol marker to match this piece with my digital image. I stick my embossed panel onto the panel with the blue border. Now I take my piece of ribbon en glue this around the panel. Now I can stick my image with foam tape. On top of the ribbon, I glue my sentiment, and I add my blue rhinestones on the embossed panel.

Now you can glue it on your base card, and the card is ready.
