Zoom meeting

 I have totally forgot to post the cards we made in our zoom meeting last month, hopefully I can remember what we did.

First we used stencil on glossy paper using different distress inks, and then a background stamp using a permanent ink,  we were to already have an image colored and cut and I chose the rose. We had all the pieces cut ahead of time too.

We took our card base, and cut both front sides 1 1/4 inches from either end. that left a flap in the middle that we applied our stencil piece we made. Took a piece of acetate to bridge across the two end flaps with the middle flap behind. Add the stamp piece on the outside edge so that your sentiment that you put on the inside shows through.

  A few more pictures so you can get the idea of how it all comes together just incase my written instructions don't make sense :)

The inside, I didn't have a message stamped. I don't have many that will work on the inside and I like to hand write my messages.

In this last picture you can see how the acetate is applied across the front.

A few days later when I was trying to think what I was going to do for another card, I saw the other stenciled pieces I had worked on in the class and decided to make another card.

This time I used a butterfly for my main image that I water colored.
