Video: Adding Depth with Stencils from the September MMH Kit

Hello, friends! It’s Channin here with a new card and video! Today I demonstrate how to create lots of depth with selective ink blending and the layering stencils from the new September 2021 My Monthly Hero Kit .

(If you are having trouble viewing this video, please try watching it HERE on YouTube.)

To create this card I first stamped the sunflowers in Root Beer (included in kit) onto Dove White cardstock. After I stamped the flowers I then ink blended over them starting with the flower base layer stencil in Butter Bar (included in kit) and Creamsicle ink to create a gradation. Next, I ink blended over the detail layer for the flowers with Butter Bar , Creamsicle , and Fruit Punch . For the flower center base layer I used Caramel (included in kit) and Root Beer (included in kit) on the edges. Then for the leaf base layer I used Key Lime Fizz (included in kit), Moss and Pine . Lastly, I finished with the detail layer stencil for the leaves and centers in Moss , Pine , and Root Beer . When I finished ink blending the flowers I then die cut them out with the matching Frame Cuts.

Next, I die cut five “hello” outlines out of Dove White cardstock using the coordinating “hello” word dies included in the kit. I then stamped and white heat-embossed a sub-sentiment onto the front of an A2 top-folding Sand card base . Then I positioned the flowers over the card front, trimmed off the overhang, added two layers of stacked scrap cardstock to the backside and adhered them to the card front.

Next, I trimmed off three of my “hello’s” where they overlap the sunflowers, then adhered them together. I then adhered the remaining two “hello’s” together and adhered those on top of the stacked and trimmed trio. Lastly, I finished my card by adhering the “hello” onto my card front.

I hope you enjoyed my card and video! Thank you so much for stopping by!
