Hello friends!

This is Anila, on the Craftyscrappers Blog and Today I have a video tutorial for you all …showing how to use a stencil to create a background for a card.

My card mainly focuses on the use of the stencil with distress inks to create your card.
I will be showing a simple distressing technique that will help you achieve clean distressed backgrounds with the stencils.
Craftyscrappers Stencils are high quality stencils,for you to create amazing backgrounds
or highlights on your projects.
These stencils comes in a trendy package and are 6.5×6.5INCH in size thats the Big size and are also available in Mini Sizes, which covers 4×5.5INCH in size,
which makes it easier for you to twist and turn the stencils according to your work surface.
And the most incredible thing about them is, they are pocket friendly.

But before i get into that, let me tell you…

A brief Tutorial:

I took a white card and adhered it using washi tape.
Adhered the Victorian stencil over it.
Using a dauber distress the card using various distress inks.
Trimmed the card panel and mounted it on a black card base.
Adhered two layers of sentiment die-cuts to give it dimension.
Mounted it on a strip and vellum and adhered it to the card.
Lastly, covered the sentiment with glossy accents and added few dew drops to complete the card.
