TodayÂ’s Ways to Use It Challenge asks us to use sequins. IÂ’m also using one the Technique Challenges ( TLC533 ) from a few weeks back which had us making a stencil using a hot glue gun.
I first made the stencil on a hot glue mat, peeled it up (when cool) and placed it on my card stock. Then I sponged on the colors from a rainbow pad and spritzed it a bit using some thinned down white acrylic paint in a fine mister. I think I actually liked the stencil better than the result, lol. It looked a little undefined so I used a Micron pen to sort of outline the petals. You can see the stencil in front of my card.
I die cut the layers, stamped the greeting, added a fussy cut umbrella and attached the sequins (upside down, just for a change).
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Fantastic card, Julie! I really like the hot glue stencil you made and the BG you created for this card is wonderful! Love the umbrella and sprinkling of sequins!

Wow, thanks for sharing your technique with this hand made stencil. Seems pretty labor intensive and I'm glad your design looked so great in the end. Not so sure I would be as luck with this technique. I see your perfect layers and sewn edges. Gorgeous as always!
