Fantasy Flourish
Good day, fellow crafters. It's Tamara once again, with a new post showcasing my latest card created using Blank Page Muse products! Today, I’m crafting a Birthday card using a "new to me" technique, using a stencil, ink, and glossy accents. Let's get started!

To create this project, you will need the following:
Stamps or Stencil
- Fantasy Flourish Stencil
- Sentiment of your choice (I chose one from my stash)
Paper
- (2) Black Cardstock - 4.25" x 5.5"
- (1) Light Blue Cardstock - 4.25" x 5.5"
- (1) White A2 card base
Tools and Consumables
- Sticky mat (optional but very useful to hold work in place without using tape)
- Scissors
- Liquid glue
- Paper Trimmer
- Die-cut machine
- Glossy Accents
- Blue ink (Shade or your choosing)
- Ink-blending brush
- Squegee or plastic store card
Process:
- Secure the light blue cardstock to the sticky mat.
- Secure the Fantasy Flourish stencil over the cardstock.
- Use the Blue ink and the ink-blending brush to fill in the stencil to your desired hue. I choose to make some areas a little darker than others for additional interest.
- For the "new to me" technique!!! Do NOT remove the stencil. Instead, use the Glossy Accents to put a thin bead along the bottom of the stencil.
- Use the Squegee or plastic store card to pull the Glossy Accents across the stencil.
- Repeat if necessary to ensure the stencil is filled in.
- The trick of the technique is time. The resin needs time to start to set before you pull the stencil, but not too much time, or it gets too hard and you can't get the stencil off without ripping the paper. I personally watch for it to start to show a light haze, which indicates it's drying, before peeling the stencil off at a 45-degree angle.
- Immediately wash the stencil to remove the excess resin.
- Use the die-cutting machine, a sentiment of your choosing, and one of the Black cardstocks to cut out the sentiment.
- Cover the sentiment in a light coat of the glossy accents and allow to dry fully, and for me, this was overnight.
- Secure the second Black cardstock to the card base with liquid glue.
- Trim the background panel to size. I wanted just a slight reveal, so I took 1/8th inch off all sides.
- Secure the background panel to the mat and card base with liquid glue.
- Secure the sentiment in place with liquid glue.
