What fun it was to look at Spellbinders Monthly Stencil and try a new technique! Using the same Lisa Horton Metallic and Interference Inks on white cardstock and black card gave completely different looks.

A handcrafted greeting card featuring colorful leaf designs on a black background, with the text 'SENDING AUTUMN CHEER' displayed prominently. The card is placed on a wooden surface, surrounded by decorative elements, including an orange pumpkin, a flower, and a red chili pepper.

Here is how I created each…remember, the only difference is the color of the cardstock you start with. All inks are Lisa Horton Metallic and Interference Inks.

Stencil 1: Sapphire Gold
Stencil 2: Opal Blush
Stencil 3: Golden Sun
Stencil 4: Copper Pot
Stencil 5: Crushed Velvet

When finished I dried them with a heat gun to be sure they did not smudge. I took paper from my collection and found the best offsetting color to frame the card front. I trimmed the stenciled fronts slightly and then added foam tape to lift them off the solid front.

I found on lent itself to be in horizontal orientation and the other looked better in vertical orientation. I added some mini gems to give a bit of sparkle and added a sentiment from the Better Press Monthly Club.

These were quick and easy cards and LOTS of fun to see how the inks reacted. I hope you like this. If you chose to do this similarly please tag me @pennypynnonen on Instagram. I’d love to see what combinations you come up with also.

Thanks for visiting!
