How to Add TEXTURE to Stenciled Flowers + Video!

Have you ever tried adding an ‘extra’ layer to your stencils? Today I share 2 ways that you can do this!

But first… Did you know that this video is part of my Take 2 With Therese series of videos that I create for Altenew? You can check out the full playlist right HERE for more inspiration.

These layering flower stencils from Altenew are HUGE and can really dominate a card, but what about adding an extra special layer….. of texture!

My first idea uses the Golden Days Stencil Set.

After blending the layers of stencil I came back in with the 3rd layer and added some Honey Gold Nuvo Glitter Drops.

The glitter drops allowed the layers of ink to show through and was easy to cut down to fit my card front.

My second idea was to create my own matching coloured Embossing Paste. This was easy to do using some co-ordinating Crisp Dye Inks and Refills.

This time I used only the final layer of the stencil, but you could easily change it up to suit your project.

I thought both of these would make lovely Wedding Cards. So I added sentiments from the Fresh Cut Roses Stamp Set and the Fancy Celebrate Die.

  1. Always love to see your beautiful cards…. You always make everything seem effortless. Thanks for the inspiration.

  2. The color combinations is beautiful, Therese, and I love the extra layer with colored texture paste and sparkly Nuvo drops.

  3. I never thought to use Nuvo drops in this way– BRILLIANT! I love the large images and layered stencils are my new “go-to”. I cannot wait to try this– thank you for the ideas!

    1. I am loving all things stencil right now too, especially the layering ones! I’m pretty sure that it was Carlytee.com where I saw her using the drops to make blended backgrounds, she is brilliant!

  4. Both are such great textures, but I like shiny things. Lol. Just beautiful cards.
