Making a stencil from dies!


Here is my second card this week for Heartfelt Creations as promised.
I used The Delicate Aster dies to create a stencil to create a paper.


This is a great use of stamps and dies !!

I LOVE the delicate Asters, its been so long since I used them ........
I think I need to dust them off and get more made !!! hehe

Cut a piece of white card 6 1/2" x 6 1/2". Place your flower dies over the card 
and die cut continue until the card is full of flowers cut out to your satisfaction.
Cut a piece of card 6 3/4" x 6 3/4". Lay the die cut piece of card over the larger piece
and using lilac ink shade over the areas of the die cuts to create flower images
on the card underneath. Remove the stencil and stamp using lilac ink the delicate
aster flowers over the inked images. Glitter over the flower lines. Cut the card
into one 6 1/2" x 3" and one 4" x 3" piece, ink the edges and use the edger tool.

paper 7" x 3 1/2" and use the edger tool. Adhere one of the inked pieces onto the darker 
paper and adhere to the card with 3D foam pads. Cut a sentiment from the paper pad and a 
darker piece 5" x 3 1/2" and distress the edges. Adhere them to the card with 3D foam pads.
Glitter all the edges of the layers and over the leafy patterns on the green paper.
In lilac ink stamp the flowers, die cut, ink the edges and shape the flowers. Stamp,
cut, colour and shape the leaves. Layer the flowers and adhere beads into the centre.
Adhere the flowers and leaves to your card and your project is complete.
