This is my entry for the Alphabet Challenge letter R and the TLC challenge to try reverse stenciling. I'm also entering it into the Free For All challenge to make a birthday card.
The R is represented by the reverse stenciling technique as well as the color red.
I made the reverse stencil panel a few weeks ago when that was the TLC challenge but I hadn't made it into a card. (The card I was thinking of using it for a background, it didn't look good together.) I did decide to clear heat emboss the background when I was finished for a little shine and texture in the background too.
Actually, I'm guessing as to what colors I used on the background for the panel, I think it was the gold and the Poppy Parade, but I'm not 100% sure. I should record details like that on the back of the panel when I make it!
I thought of this panel for the Alphabet Challenge letter R, so then it was deciding how to complete it into a card. I showed DD2 several ideas for finishing it and she selected Marquee Messages so I went with that.
I stamped the marquee and heat embossed it, then stamped the two sentiment stamps and heat embossed those. A little bit of coloring with SU markers, fussy cutting, and that panel is popped up.
Thanks for looking!
