Hello my friends! I'm beginning to dream of fall but I'm here with another tropical inspired project using Scrappy Tails Crafts. Let's dive right in!
I started by cutting a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock into an 8 1/4" x 3 1/4" panel. I pulled out the three stencils from the last Scrappy Tails release. Aztec, Zig Zag and Chevron. I then picked out some bright inks and blending brushes. I eyeballed 3 different sections on the panel and separated them with 1/2" tape.
Next I cut three leaves from dark grey cardstock using the Tropical Leaves dies. I adhered them inside each stenciled panel.
Then I added a generous amount of black splatters. While the splatters were drying I worked on the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Tropical Birds set. I stamped it on a scrap of Bristol Smooth cardstock so my whites would be the same color. I used my Mini Misti to stamp it first with a dark grey ink. Then I stamped it with Versamark ink. I sprinkled on clear embossing powder and melted with a heat tool. The final step was to use the coordinating die to cut it out. I did add some foam tape to it before adding it to the panel.
After that I used liquid glue to add the panel to a dark grey card base. I did go back and add several dots with Midnight Sky Nuvo glitter drops.
Since I had so much fun making the slimline version, I wanted to try it in an A2 size. I mean, why not!
On this panel I actually used skinny white cardstock strips to separate the stenciled panels.
And here they are together.
I loved using more than one stencil on my cards! Which one of these cards is your favorite? I totally can't choose.
Be on the lookout for the next Scrappy Tails release called Harvest Blessings. It's coming on August 12th! You're going to love it!
Toodles!
