Stencil

Hi Everyone, my card today happened when hubby was putting plastic into the recycle bin and I noticed some plastic that I thought would be very handy and it turned out to be yes!

We had a business folder for a couple of years that he decided we had had long enough, so the paper and card were cross cut for the bin and the plastic as I said was going in too. I took it and, with my Silhouette Cameo, I cut a couple of stencils out to see if it would and it did! I also tried die cutting, but it wouldn't go through! Here is the result of one stencil. The numbers are what setting I used to cut it, so I can remember for the next cut.
 design -  Get Silvered blog

Here is the card using -
Ranger Distress Inks
Shaded Lilac, Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar
makeup sponges used
stamps - Magazine freebies.
gold embossing powder - Dovecraft
gold mirror card - The Range
purple card - Craft Sensations
sentiment - computer generated,
 printed onto vellum then heat clear embossed

Hi, Faith,
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment. I appreciate it!

Your card is beautiful!. Your background is beautifully blended and, at first glance, I thought you had used a foil press for your gold accents. You did a great job of heat embossing your elements. Nicely crafted!
Hugz,

Such a pretty and delicate card Faith and great re-cycling. Well done you on getting the cameo to cut the stencil as most of the plastics with die cutting just won't work x. Just think of the possibilities for you now Faith. The recipient of this beautiful card will love it x.
