Hello! I'm in to do a quick post, a triple-threat of sorts. I started with a new technique that I wanted to try, and ended up using THREE different new products - yay! So this'll be heading to MFT - Birthday Project and NBUS #16!
I started with the Stencil Outline technique, which I first saw at Loll's CAS Mix-Up challenge, which I missed! While I don't have any stand-alone stencils that show a person or flower or such, I do have a few background stencils so I set about trying how to figure out how to make it work, focusing on the background. Please forgive the outdoor lighting, although it was a beautiful day, the sun was definitely setting on me. Here, you decide ~
Don't see the outline? How about this ~
Hope you can you see it. I wanted the background to evoke a masculine feel, without overpowering the pattern, outlining with a clear star gelly pen near the outside. It is subtle, but I like it. I'm thinking this will go to my dad early next month (unless I make another - haha). First I cut the background, placed a matching cs behind it, showing just a tad. Then I just made an angled strip to match the "bar" angles, and heat embossed & cut the sentiment before popping them up on the card. Like I said, I used all NBUS products here too (one older, one newer to me) - win win.
Supplies:
MFT - Scattered Bars stencil
SSS - Hexagon Greetings
PF - Diagonal Stitched Rectangle
Well that's it for me! Hope you off to a wonderful start on your week - take care.
Hugs,
TK

Well done, TK! Even with the silver and how schparkly this must be in person, it's a great design for a guy! Your dad will treasure it ~ if you don't end up making him something different! Thanks for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Keep well! Hugs, Darnell
Super card for your Dad and I like the subtle outline, perfect for a masculine card. I bet when it catches the light it has a nice sparkle x
TK you get an A++ for 'shopping your stash' and using what you have for this technique! It's a fabulous card, and your Dad will love it!

I had fun doing my DT cards for the stencil tracing challenge TK and I really like this one that you've done! A perfect man card - it looks great! x
Wonderful card for your Dad.
Love the silver outlines.
I think the technique looks perfect TK. The colours are wonderful and the stencil sure does lend itself to a masculine card and a fabulous one at that x. Hope you are on the mend? x.
The silvery gray is perfect for outlining the stenciling, TK! I love how the angled strip mimics the stenciling! A great masculine card!
You have to send this to your dad, he'll love it! What a great card. I do see the outline. I love a good Gelly Roll Glitter pen!
Fabulous card, TK! Love the subtle outlining of the stenciled background!
This is so sweet, TK x
The silver and blue is a really pretty combo and this is a card anyone would love to receive.
