Spring Card Camp 2 – This incorporates Day 3 (Dry Embossing with Stencils) with Day 5 (Stencil Shading). I had trouble getting the Daisy Bouquet stencil by Simon Says Stamp embossed. It doesn’t show in the picture but you can feel it. I first sponged Warm Glow ink over the entire stencil. Then I colored with Distress Oxides with some shading with Prismas. The colors I used were Bundled Sage, PC1096, Kelly Green & PC911 Olive Green, Ripe Persimmon, PC921 Pale Vermillion, Wilted Violet PC995 Mulberry. I found a copper Permapaque pen that I used for the dots – I have no idea where I got it, but there’s also one in gold and one in silver in my stash. The sentiment from Simply the Best by Gina K Designs was stamped in Dark Sage, also by GKD. I cut the Wild Lilac border a wee bit small and it really doesn’t show well, then matted it with Fresh Asparagus on a Heavy Weight White card base. After I assembled it, I noticed that the dots in the center flower make a smiley face.

Great job! Incorporating two days in one technique. Super!
Thanks Lisa. I’m always glad when I can get a two-fer
It is beautiful!
Thanks Diana
Gorgeous card my friend. I love the flowers and I’m sure the embossing is good even if we can’t see for ourselves. I don’t have much success embossing with stencils either.
Thanks Johanna. I had fun doing it even if the embossing doesn’t show.
Such a cool combinations of techniques. The dry embossing is so tactical and will not photograph. Great job.
Thanks Bonnie. I may dig out my old light table and use a stylus the next time I want to emboss a stencil.
Beautiful card and colors. Great technique. Thanks for sharing your camp card.
Thanks Gayle. It was a fun technique except for trying to get the Platinum to emboss the stencil.
GORGEOUS! Perfect sponging – love the colors you used and the details you added. I also had trouble embossing with stencils when I tried it; sponging color over the design definitely makes it all better – lol!!.
Thanks Lisa. The brushes in different sizes make all the difference for something like this. The stencil was such a hot mess I was worried about how this was going to come out.
Judy, this is lovely! Great job on your shading.
