Top Dog Dies - Stencil Tutorial


It's a great day for some Top Dog Dies FUN!  
 I tried a new technique with this card and thought I'd share a quick and easy tutorial with you!

STENCIL TUTORIAL with TOP DOG DIES

Step 1
After die-cutting the Madison Doily Die and removing all of the intricate cuts, tape down a paper base.

 Step 2
Roll up a small piece of tape and place on the back of your Madison Doily.

Step 3
Place the Madison Doily and the negative paper that you cut the die from over the paper base and tape down, so that nothing shifts around.

Step 4
Spread Faber-Castell Whipped Spackle with a putty knife over the Madison Doily until smooth.

Step 5
Make sure all of the intricate cuts are covered and filled in with spackle.

Step 6
Carefully lift the negative and remove.

Step 7
Carefully remove the Madison Doily and dispose.  Enjoy the beautiful results!



To finish off the card, I die cut a few more Top Dog Dies favorites, stamped a sweet Reverse Confetti sentiment and a few triangles, and embellished with some Pretty Pink Posh goodies.


Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!

I am officially going to be getting some of that spackle...this is beautiful, such a great collage feel to your card. The doily stenciling adds just a little extra touch to an already beautiful card.

VERY cute, girl. I had never even thought of doing that with a doily die-cut, but I just might steal your idea. It's awesome! I love seeing all your amazing cards - I really do! And I hope you will stop by and share more with us at Word Art Wednesday. We have some really AMAZING sponsors coming this year - it makes me wish that I could play along!

Beautiful card - wow! Thank you for sharing the details on the technique, too. It's something I've noticed on cards before but have never tried.

Thanks for sharing your artwork and knowledge with us at Unscripted Sketches!

What a fantastic paste tutorial! I really like how you used such a small amount of it, and yet it still adds such a wow factor. The whole card is absolutely stunning. I adore all the dimension you created with the layers and I like how you arranged the sequins right next to the stars. The dangly string is the perfect finishing touch. Amazing work and I'm so glad you shared this with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog!
