GLOSSY GLAZE - Stenciled Birthday Cards by Lynn Dionne

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

 

Today we will be creating a set of birthday cards using a brand new set of stamps from the Ai Watercolor Series. We will be using the slice of birthday cake image for our cards and this image is from the Ai Birthday Journal Set (5722). This small image will be simple and easy to color which is exactly what you want when you are creating multiple cards.

Let's stamp this little slice of cake along with the sentiment. We will stamp all of these at the same time and create a little production line!

Next we can color in all three of the cakes using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Lilac, Bright Yellow, Beige, Lt Gray, Gray.

Now we can do some stenciling using the Hero Arts Lacy Floral Stencil Square. This is just so pretty and delicate. But the show stopper will be the Cosmic Shimmer Glossy Glazes that we will be stenciling with today. These are a translucent glaze that dries so shiny and beautiful. Once this glaze is dry you can cut it with your paper trimmer or you can even die cut with it....just be sure the glaze is completely dry!

To frame up the image and sentiment we will be using the Ai Journal Rectangle Frames (5591). These little scalloped squares are going to frame everything nicely. These frames will be in a medium gray and we will use this same gray cardstock as a layer on the cards.

Let's go ahead and assemble the cards and add a bit of Baker's Twine in coordinating colors! For a finishing touch we can add some Pinkfresh Studio Ombre' Glitter Drops in Twilight, Pixie Dust, and Sparkle & Shine!

Now you have a fun set of birthday cards to give as a gift or just to have ready to go when you need them!

Thank you so much for joining me today!  Have a fun and crafty day!!!

Love the cards. Adding the stencil and the Glossy Glaze to my wish list. Wish I already had the Glossy Glaze. It would work perfect on the cards I am making today.
