Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Playing with a special stencil...
I used tape to block off areas that I didn't want inked (I'm very messy with my inking)
and did one color bow at a time. I did the same thing for the ornaments.
The gold ornaments were inked with Encore Gold ink and heat embossed.
I added VersaMark through the stencil on the red ornament and bows. Then I heat
embossed them with clear powder to get the shine.
The greenery was sponged through a stencil made with a die.
The design was matted on a piece of matte gold foil leaving a thin frame
then placed on a piece of embossed cardstock.
This is a large stencil so my card is an A7 sized.

What a wonderful stencil and your inking is perfect! Seems that taping is the way to go... I am such a lazy crafter lol!! Vicky x
So pretty! LOVE the bauble stencil ... gorgeous in the different colours of metallics. Fabulous stenciling of your greenery made from a die! Great way to stretch the use of your dies. xx
Gorgeous trio of baubles, Bonnie! Just love them framed and matted atop the embossed pines too!!
This is gorgeous! The details and embossing really make the designs stand out!

Beautiful! Wonderful colors and the shine adds so much to the details.
Beautiful Bonnie, you coloured the individual baubles so beautifully. I see you got Lumberjack plaid red- is it a real red?
A stunning card...love it! xx
So lovely. Beautiful stencilling work. I don’t know why I never think to ink blend metallic inks with my stencils. 🤷🏻♀️
Beautiful stencilling! It must be gorgeous in real life with the shine and texture of the heat embossing!
Bonnie this is so beautiful. I was surprised to see that it was a stencil. Awesome card.
Oh, such a lovely card with the delicate stenciled bulbs, so pretty!!
Well, that's really clever with the two stencils and all the different colors and embossing. It sure did turn out gorgeous! Love the dry embossed white base, too. Another one for Christmas!
What beautiful gold and red ornaments hanging and with a bow at the top of each, and the green stencilled pine branches for them to hang from look lovely Bonnie, also the embossed foliage is a wonderful background..a totally gorgeous card! x
This is such a pretty ornament card, Bonnie! I love the shiny baubles and the bows. It must have required a lot of care and attention to make the images stamped and heat-embossed so cleanly! The gold matte and the dry embossing on the card base are wonderful touches too.

Such a pretty card, Bonnie. Your masking worked a treat. Thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
Congrats on Top Pick at Kickstart!
Beautiful card composition, Bonnie. And a really laborious card. I love that you embossed the baubles and bows with clear EP, which gave a beautiful shine.
