Hey crafty friends! I'm so excited to share with you this super fun card I created featuring our Brand NEW Rainbows Layered Stencil! This stencil was a labor of love & I'm truly iso happy with how the design turned out. Below I have a full process video sharing all the details & how I put together this cute card featuring our Rainbows Layered Stencil! You can check it out below:
The Rainbows Layered Stencil has 3 separate layered stencils to create a geometric Rainbow look. See the photos below!
Top Layer | color used: Party Dress
Top Layer + Middle Layer | Middle Layer color used: Pixie Dust
All Layers | Final Layer color used: Dress BluesIt's important to note that you can use our stencils in any order. If I want to use paste on the largest "top" layer, I do the 2 inside layers first! It really doesn't matter the order since it will all just end up filling in the background.
Leaving a little white space between each stencil design was important to me & allows for some distance between each color. Allowing the pattern to shine through & not be too distracting!
You'll also notice how some areas of the stencil have different layers. So there are some rainbows with only 2 layers and some with 3. This was done on purpose to create more visual appeal.
The Rainbows Layered Stencil is 6x6 in total size. This makes it simple to use your die cutting machine to cut out a background for a card! For this card, I used our large hello in the Hi, hey, hello word die set as a focal point. I cut out the background using our A2 Liner Die from the Card Sentiments Die Set.
To add some dimension & a little bit of contrast to the background, I used our smaller decorative frame in our Decorative Sentiment Die Set & cut out directly in the center of the A2 Liner. I then re-aligned the pattern up & used 3D foam squares to give the decorative piece some elevation.
It's subtle, but it's such a fun technique, not to mention it's super simple!
I also used some chunky banners in white to decorate the sides of my card. For the inside, in order to use the rest of my pattern I stenciled out, I cut the remainder with our Horizontal Pocket Die. This wasn't large enough to create a pocket, but it was perfect size for a decorative piece for the inside of the card!
I also added a decorative strip of some pink foil using Crafty Power Tape. This technique is also super simple & adds jus ta little bit of shine to your projects!
For the top half of this card, I used the direct-to-paper technique on an A2 Liner & then a fun watercolor splatter technique on the larger Decorative frame for some subtle color.
I then found the perfect sized rainbow on our stencil for the Doily Oval, and stenciled it on the top of the doily. I stamped "in case you forgot" & "you are the best" on the inside top & bottom half of the card so it can be read that way! These stamps are from our "Just Wanted To Say" Stamp Set which coordinate really well with each other & our Hi, hey, hello Word Die Sets.
This card was so much fun to make - I really love using the Rainbows Layered Stencil to add more color to my cards! Let me know in the comments, which colors would you use?!
