Celebration Stenciling Techniques - AECP

For my 3rd AECP class it is all about stencils and different techniques to use your stencils as well as creating your own.  This was a fun course and I completed several cards using a few different techniques.  

This card was made by using an embossing paste through the stencil.  I used Lunar Paste through the Altenew Halftone stencil.  For the main image I used a leftover coneflower from my layering courses.  A good way to utilize my supplies and combine lessons.

For my next card I used watercolors and painted through the holes in the stencil.  I used Altenew 36 Watercolor palette.  These paints come in such a neat little box perfect size to bring with me when I travel.  I love it.  I used a watercolor brush to add the colors to the watecolor paper.  I used the Feathery Stencil.  I used some Autumnal colors and I absolutely love the results.  So pretty.  After I finished the watercoloring I let the panel dry.  Then I used Tim Holtz Mica Distress Spray in Copper to add a little shimmer to the card.  I used some dies to cut the panel and I popped the inner panel up with foam for extra dimension.  For the front of the card I stamped the feather from the Mini Delight Strength set onto white cardstock and vellum.  Both were heat embossed with copper embossing powder.  I did the same thing with the sentiment, and after heat embossing I fussy cut it before adding foam dimensional tape and adding it to the card front.

For this last card I posted the details about it on a previous post found here: https://angyhughescrafts.blogspot.com/2023/08/altenew-academy-stencil-class.html 

These cards show how I used a die cut as a stencil and then used the die cut that had been stenciled on/over to create another card. 

Let me know what you think.  I am really enjoying learning new techniques.
