Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Make a mask from Mylar (triple square die used here) and place on a sticky mat (or use another method to hold it in place).
-
Insert die cuts cut from black card into the apertures.
-
Step 2
Cover with the leaf mask (having sprayed lightly with the adhesive spray on the reverse).
-
Spread a texture medium through all openings using a palette knife. (Super Thick Slap It On medium was used here.)
-
Step 3
Tap on some pigment powders (Luscious Pigment Powder in Lime Spritzer here), using a soft brush.
-
Step 4
Spray with a metallic spray or apply another medium of choice.
-
Step 5
Remove the stencils and allow the tiles to dry completely.
-
Step 6
When dry, use the tiles to embellish a card or other project as desired. Here, the tiles were fixed onto a gold rectangular mount and layered with gold and black foliage die cuts.
-
Pearls were colored with alcohol markers to match the project, and attached to the card.
-
Step 7
Complete the project.

I love how you make stuff to your needs like the 3 square mask and the sticky mat base. And that Indigo product is a riot! I want some! I have to see if I can get in the states. I probably have the equivalent in another name but it cracks me up.
This is so pretty-black and gold! Very luxe! And I can see how a person could do a run with it to make several cards.
Thank you!
