Graduation in Mojo Class

Here is the second card we will be using the Tim Holtz's Marker Spritzer in but this time with a stencil!  It makes it so easy to use stencils.  We will be making our own graduation cap too.  If you do not need a graduation card we can make it into a birthday card instead!  It even has an place inside to put an monetary gift!  Le me know if you are coming to class this week.

All white!

 I have been wanting to make an all white card for a long time so here it is!  I used a stencil from The Crafter's Workshop for the background textured dots with white embossing paste.  The flowers and leaves are cut from vellum with centers of crystal gems.  I added crystal Stickles for dots around the area for added glitz.  The words are from Paper Smooches from a set called 'Pretty Phases'. I thought this would make a great wedding or anniversary card.

Stencils with Embossing Paste

This card was made with a Crafter's Workshop Stencil and embossing paste.  It has a lot of really nice texture.  The die cut flower from Die-Namics called Rose with Overlay and the leaves are from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  Both of them were then died with two different colors of Distress Stains.  I added pearls and gems in the background and the words are from a set called 'Cheerful Blessings' from My Favorite Things.  Just having some fun playing!!

Playing with Stains & Stencils

With all of this cold snowy weather I have had some time to play!!  I was playing with my Distress Stains (my favorite things right now) and stencils to see what I could do.  I used a stencil from The Crafter's Workshop for the background giving a tiled look. I applied the stain with the Tim Holtz Distress tool tapped it into a puddle of stain and dabbing with an up and down motion over the stencil.  I like that look the best.  For the fern, I made my own stencil with a Spellbinders foliage die and dabbed the stain right over the stencil and it soaked in a little more.  Not the look I really like.  But it is good to try different ways of doing things. The flower is cut with a die from Elizabeth Craft Designs called Flowers #1 and cut from vellum!!!  I then used my Distress Stains to color the vellum.  I love this look a lot!  The word stamp is from Paper Smooches called 'Pretty Phases' and the little dots are a stamp from a set called 'Petals & Stems' from Avery Elle.  I also added a light blue Stickles for dots.  I love how it came out!!
