Stencil Duo featuring Altenew

A huge shout out to Altenew for creating these beautiful stencils that don't only work alone, but combined, they offer a spectacular look. Also to Jennifer McGuire who is my hero in card making and this is her design that I've mimicked.

I used Rangers Speciality Stamping paper which is something like photo paper but not the same. It is heavy weight, has a gloss on one side which makes blending inks very easy. It is also great for muting colors slightly because if you use a baby wipe to remove ink after it's been sitting for a bit, it lightens right up.

Here are the stencils with ink combo's I used. Time holtz distrrss Oxide inks

The layered Medallion A and B:

• Twisted Citron & Abandoned Coral
• Broken China & Peacock Feathers
• Lucky Clover & Peeled Paint
• Salty Ocean & Faded Jeans
• Fired Brick & Candied Apple

The Layered Kaleidoscope A and B:

• Wild Honey & Spiced Marmalade
• Wilted Violet &Seedless Perserves
• Worn Lipstick & Picked Raspberry
• Antique Linen & Fossilized Amber

To jazz them up a tad I used Nuvo Drops, Sequins and a die cut stitched sun. I also cut the inked piece using a nesting die and cute the word "smile" from black cardstock to the top. The sun is popped up to offer some dimension.
