Hi there,

Karen here, sharing a card that I created with the Sketch Grid TCW 456s, Punchinella TCW219s, and Mini Ledger TCW 267s.

I loved how these stencils enabled me to create such a nice background for this card.

I began this card by transferring the star pattern from the Punchinella stencil using broken china distress ink, fired brick distress ink and the foam tool. Using the foam tool offered more flexibility and control over the depth of the ink.

Next, I transferred the Mini Ledger pattern onto the cardstock by using vintage photo ink and the foam tool.

I then transferred the sketch grid pattern using white paint and a sponge.

Next, I embossed my cardstock and enhanced it with walnut distress ink.

I added some white paint randomly using the Sketch Grid stencil and added white paint to the edges.

Lastly, I accented a red card base with a Sketch Grid stencil using white paint and then layered the card together.
