VIDEO | Selective Stencilling with Gold Hero Wax

Hello there, today I have a card (and video) to share using selective stencilling along with faux gold gilding with Hero Wax. The great thing about stencils is that you can use the whole stencil, or it is really easy to omit areas to get the look you want!

I started off my card by taking the Hero Arts Color layering Folk Art Stencils and adding memo tape to the areas that I didn't want to add ink blending to. They were then placed on top of panel of Hero Arts Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock. I started off with the leaf/stems stencils and added ink blending to them using Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink with a Hero Arts Small Ink Blending Brush. 

For the last stencil, I first added a layer of Hero Arts Summer Sky Core Ink to the petals, followed by Hero Arts Indigo Core Ink, this time just to the base of the petals. I then went in with Hero Arts Grape Juice Core Ink to darken them even more. 

Leaving the stencil in place, I then pounced/dabbed Hero Arts Gold Hero Wax on top using a Tim Holtz Tiny Blending Tool. The sponge texture of this made it so that I did not get a harsh line at the top of the wax and it gave a smooth transition to the ink blending underneath. I then removed the stencil and set it aside to dry (which did not take long!). 

Once dry, it was cut into an arch using the Hero Arts Arches Infinity Dies. I cut the bottom off of the panel and then created a shaped card base. I cut two more arches from Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock and on one, added a score line towards the top to create a hinge. I added adhesive to the hinge and adhered it to the back of the other arch to create the card base. 

The stencilled panel was adhered on top with thin foam tape. I stamped a sentiment from Hero Arts Message Strips Stamp & Cut XL onto Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock using Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder and heat set. It was adhered to the card with more thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Gold Mix Color Essentials Gems.
