Welcome to Technique Time with Gaylynn. Layering stencils and silver stamping are easy card making techniques. I combined the two with a Unity stamp and stencil set for this shimmering celebration card.
The sentiment can easily be changed to work for other occasions.
Here is a look at the card in direct light. I tried to capture the shimmer of the metallic silver stamping on the balloons and the sentiment.
Sentiment: Hooray
Helpful Tips:
First, onto a large sheet of smooth white cardstock, stamp the balloon background using silver metallic ink. Then, set the metallic stamping with either clear embossing or spraying the panel with workable fixative.
Next, stencil one color at a time using one layering stencil at a time. Also, try matching up the stenciling to the stamping before ink blending. I used dye ink for the ink blending but distress ink is another option. Also, heat set everything then trim or die-cut the card front layer.
Finally, here is a closer look at this balloon card with a card liner inside.
