Window Stencil

Sparkle Medium

Gold and Silver Glossy Card

 First I took a piece of gold card, placed the flourish stencil on it and sponged acrylic paint through the stencil.

When the paint dried I then laid the window stencil over the top of the painted area and used a palette knife to spread on antique bronze glitter medium.

Then I took a piece of silver card and used the window stencil and a palette knife to spread on black stars glitter medium. 

When it was dry I cut out the bird and the leafy flourishes from the edges of the silver and black image. 

 I then layered the pieces on  to the matching areas of the stencilled image on the gold card and then matt and layered the whole thing on white and gold card.

Finally I stuck the image to a shaped card blank and then tied some satin in to a bow leaving long tails of ribbon, stuck the bow in place and then turning the ribbon and sticking the underside of it to the card I used the ribbon to frame the image.

Congratulations, could you please email Linda with your details so that your prize can be sent out to you.

Today we are sharing Mag's tutorial with you.

 Using the moonlight owl stencil I masked off the moon as I did not want that on the final card.

  Apply sparkle medium through the stencil.  I used golden pine for the leaves and rose shimmer, light copper and antique pink for the owl.  The colours are very similar but I wanted a subtle colour change effect.

While this is drying brayer some antique pink sparkle medium onto white card to make coordinating glitter card.

Using a 7 x 7 card blank matt the image onto the glitter card attaching a strip of white ribbon across the top corner.

 Add a bow and owl charm to the ribbon.  Punch some glitter corners and attach to each corner of the image.
