The Supporting Cast

Dry embossed image without colour can get lost on a card front. A richly coloured patterned paper behind the image can give it what it needs to stand out.

Back to Brass

I used another brass stencil to create the dry embossing bunny. Without the brass stencil with me, I decided to highlight the ears and feet by carefully colouring these areas with a fine paint brush and Distress Ink.

Masking

I got the eggs "in the basket" by placing a sticky note across the top of it and then stamping my eggs.

Stencils and Stitching

Here's my solution to use all of the littlest bits of patterned papers from this paper line. I punched out each of the squares the same size and distressed them with white ink. After adhering the squares to the face of the card and layering the dry embossed snowman (made from a brass stencil), I used a scalloped ruler as a guide to paper pierce. I did the faux stitching with a white gel pen. The brass stencil was left on the snowman so that I could chalk only on the raised areas. Signo makes the best white gel pen!

Top Brass

I used a brass stencil to dry emboss the sign post. To give the dry embossing a little lift, I stenciled the image with ink. A rectangular Spellbinders perfectly cut out my stamped image to fit into the dry embossed space.
