These three cards were all done using the Faux Cross Stitch
Technique. The stencil is placed on the card where you want the design to
be, taped down with removable tape and turned over so the stencil is face
down on the light table. Dry emboss the design, turn back over, leave
stencil in place and stencil pale or pastel colors on design. Next place the
screen over brass stencil and hinge with one piece of removable tape. Load
stencil brush with pigment ink and off load any excess on paper towel. Build
color slowly, working from light to dark. Once satisfied with color, remove
screen. |

Using black cardstock, Barb pasted LJ872 Crane Background
with either Gold (DGP) or Copper (DCP) Embossing paste (am not sure which
she used, but either will be fine.) LL489 Crane Crest was also paste
embossed on a separate piece of black cardstock, then cut around, circle
shaped. Both designs were then gold-leafed. The crest is remounted on a
piece of burgandy cardstock, then mounted on the crane background, perhaps
with "puff" tape for an added dimension. |

Barb used a combination of stencils on this creation and
came up with a truly lovely card. LJ861 Water Lilies is first dry-embossed
on blue cardstock, then stenciled for color depth. The Dragonfly is from
LM193 and the Water Lily from LM136. Both are paste embossed with a Metallic
Embossing Paste, gold leafed, cut out and mounted in their respective
corner. |

The card on the upper left is paste embossed using Silver
Embossing Paste (DSP), glitter applied while still wet and mounted on
complementary color cards. Barb's mounts are apparently well thought out and
add a lot to her cards.
LJ816 Spider Web is embossed with Gold Paste, LS28 Spider appears to be
paste embossed with colored glitter added while wet, then cut out and
mounted on web.
Barb did some layering on this design, using LG634 Kimono and LJ872 Crane
Background embossed with the Black Paste (DMBP). |

These three cards are all paste embossed, using a different
technique for each. Upper left has LG616 Leaves pasted with DEP (regular
paste) over LG615 vase, cut out and mounted. Leaves are stenciled before
cutting out vase. LL482 Pineapple and LM211 Welcome are both pasted with
DEP. While still wet Barb "textured" the pineapple by perhaps placing a
piece of wax paper on it and lifting quickly, or by working with a palette
knife. Either technique will work - just be sure stencil is still in place.
Great color shading here, probably with inks.
I give up on the surfboards - all I can say is they are striking! They
appear to have a texture, or glitter - I can't really tell which, but I do
believe they were pasted before stenciling. |
