Hello Friends! I’m back with another video today. I wanted to show you how I layered two stencils and some embossing paste for my background. Do you have any stencils? It’s so fun to layer them.
Finally I had some time to color WPlus9‘s “Pick of the Litter” . The owner of the company is Dawn and she’s so talented and so lovely. Honestly I don’t love coloring animals so I combined a Hero Arts sentiment and Lawn Fawns Flirty Frames to finish off my card.
To watch the video in HD click here.
In the video I explained how I stamped the arm. I wanted to move the arm so it would hold my frame.
When I look at this close up I cringe a little…eek!! I just wanted you to see the clear embossing paste and glossy accents. (the lips are to bright and to much eye shadow!) In the video I share the two stencils that I use on her dress and they are in the supply list at the bottom of the post.
All you need to do is add a sentiment and this background can stand alone. I used Simon Says Stamps Moroccan stencil and the Dots and Lines stencil. The distress inks are this and this. I hope you give this technique a try. Enjoy your day and see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

Oh, I loved your video this morning. I am going to try the two stencil technique. The product of that was very unique. I think it makes a perfect background. About the little girl’s lipstick and eyeshadow….her mother should have been watching her more closely. Hehe! Kathy, please keep doing the unedited videos. They are wonderful. I like to see the whole process even the thinking out loud. Thanks for today!
Thanks so much Sharon…like that about her mom not watching closely lol 🙂
Great video. Love that stenciled background.
Awesome background and love how you made her to hold the sentiment. Awesome!
Thank you for the video! What great tips! I’ve used stencils and embossing paste but have never thought to layer stencils! Can’t wait to go upstairs and see what cool patterns I can make with my stencil stash! And I love what you did with the little girls arm to hold the sign! As for The little girls makeup…I just think it looks like she was playing with mommy’s makeup!
Oh Lynndee I like that idea of playing with makeup…Im going to go with that! 🙂
OK I need some clear embossing paste now!!! Great card!

Beautiful card. I just love, love the background. I love using stencils but never tried 2 with embossing paste. Love the look and color you made. So makes for such a lovely background. Thanks for sharing the video.
Love that background, Kathy. I knew there was a reason why I bought some translucent embossing paste some time last year. I guess the time has come to actually start using it.
