Sentiment: Nursing is a work of heart.
Here are helpful tips for creating cards using stenciling with embossing paste. To begin, pre-trim or die-cut cardstock to prepare for stenciling. Also, pre-color and cut out a focal stamp like the nurse. Next, over a plastic craft mat, spray the stencil with pixie spray then place the stencil over the trimmed cardstock panel. Use masking tape, as another option. Then, using a spatula, cover the stencil area with the silver metallic paste or your paste of choice. Next, set aside to dry or gently heat set. Then, place the full stenciled background or trim diagonally as needed. Finally, assemble all of the layers to the card base, to finish.
I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.
