Give It All You’ve Got Card By Wendy Vecchi | www.www.rangerinkshop.comStep 1: Cut manila cardstock to 4 x 5 inches. Working on the Non-Stick Craft Sheet. Use the Blending Tool with Foam to ink the top portion with Sky Blue Archival Ink and the lower half with Leaf Green Archival.

With the stencil in place, ink the unmounted “cracks” stamp with Watering Can Archival & stamp thru the stencil to create cracks in the wood fence. The stencil allows the “cracks” to be added to the fence only and it protects the background.

Use an awl to add a hole to the flower centers. To create the flower center, insert the long fastener thru the fluted collar, then thru the gear. Use black adhesive tape between the flower layers. Assemble the flower a little offset to allow the bottom petals to show.

Add black glaze pen dots to add the bird’s eye & to accent the banner at the top. Add to a black base. This can be a card or a little art to set in an easel.

Things to note:

1. Because Archival is a permanent waterproof ink, the Distress Crayons can be used to add shading over the Archival Inks. They work well together…Pretty cool!
2. Masking a portion of a stencil creates a whole NEW stencil. Look at what you have (both stamps & stencils) to see how it can be used for a different effect. This banner looks nothing like the original repeating quilt stencil.
3. If your stencil is clean, you can see exactly where you’re adding stenciling & avoid sentiments or areas that you prefer not to stencil over. Sorry Dina…for me…clean is good!
4. Using a red rubber stamp unmounted is an easy way to add small areas of stamping to a background. Just bend it to fit the selected area. This works great even with large background stamps.
5. The black Foam Tape is an awesome adhesive for Clearly For Art. It provides a very strong adhesive and just the right amount of dimension between layers.
