Second post of the day … here’s another ‘renovation stuff’ card …
This is another entry at the fourth week of WPlus9‘s birthday celebrations. I’m meeting the Stretch It theme (try a new style or technique or use supplies in a creative way) by doing some stencilling … never done that before. At Simon Says Stamp Monday, we’re challenged to use paste … mmm … there’s a match!
I don’t have any stencils … or embossing paste … so I used my trusty plasterboard mesh tape and mixed up a little jointing medium (I got the idea for the latter from Shirley who used polyfilla in the same way not long ago) . The tape was temporarily adhered to a white card panel and each side was masked. I made three piles of ‘paste’, squished them into distress inks on a non-stick sheet and then spread away, merging the three colours as I went. While it was drying, I trimmed a vellum banner, and stamped and silver embossed the WPlus9 sentiment. Once the panel was dry, the banner was adhered at one end to the back and at the other with a wee glue dot. A scattering of silvered sequins finished it off … one covers the glue dot. I inked up the edges of a card base and adhered the panel flat to it.
One more to go tonight … back soon! Thanks so much for coming by, your visits and comments are always a delight! Anita 🙂

I love how you’ve used the mesh as a stencil, and ombré Polyfilla – I’m so impressed!
Totally ingenious, love your coloured ‘paste’ 🙂
This looks amazing and you blended the colours so well! Love that everything is on an angle and the vellum goes really well with the colour. Stunning!!
Wow…just gorgeous! I love that blue and what a fabulous technique too!
Love how you use all this stuff from your renovation to create stunning cards! This is just amazing with the ombre effect!
Wow… COOL!
Stunning xx
This is amazing Anita – you’ve been so creative in how you’ve done this. Just goes to show there is always another way without having to go out and pay loads for the “proper” stuff!!! Gorgeous.

Polyfilla! Brilliant! I have one stencil and with this little tidbit form you, I may finally get around to using it! Your card: gorgeous! In fact, I quite love it!!! Hugs~c
I didn’t notice which challenges you were joining, but if you don’t win, I’ll seriously be furious. This is now my new favorite Anita card of all time!! GENIUS TO THE MAX!!!!!!! I mean, the coloring alone … shut up!! Glorious!! Hugs, Darnell
…and I REALLY quite like this card! I left such a clever comment on this post but it seems that some internet creature has gobbled it up! I’m sure I told you how talented and creative you are and that using your plasterboard mesh tape for something other than your house, is clever as ever! Love the soft shades of blue! Nice bling too!
WOW, you’ve done a great job, Anita – great idea!! Loving how you’ve done the colour fading towards the bottom and I love your sentiment!! The sequins are perfectly placed! Well done!!
This would have to be my ‘all time’ favourite colour to use in papercraft, and the overlay vellum sentiment just adds so much to it’s prettiness!
Well you have to win the award for most creative use of Non-crafting goods used in card making!!! the design turned out perfectly :0)
Great card Anita 🙂 One of my favourite colours. Well done being spotted on moxie fab world.
