| Encaustic Art and Stickers Book |
Fantasy Paper - Cardstock |
We have a new book in stock this week and the encaustic art cardstock to go with it. The book is by Rina ten Berg and has 48 pages showing the makings for 34 different cards that span all occasions. Instructions are in a number of languages including English. All the stickers used within the book are Starform brand and you will find most of them in stock. The technique is very simple and the results are amazing. You will find one card work shopped below and a number of photos of completed cards.

For this particular card you will need:
13.5cm x 13.5cm card (dark blue)
13.2cm x 13.2cm cardstock (mint green)
12cm x 12cm cardstock (dark blue)
and 9 cardstock squares 3.6cm ( I used a variegated green)
|
Build up the layers of cardstock onto the card. Start with the mint green, dark blue and then the small blocks. |
Remove the stickers from the sheet and place on the fantasy cardstock. Cut around each sticker. |

You will end up with 8 different cut out sticker shapes.
|
To attach the shapes to the card I used 1.9mm mini foam pads. This gave depth and the size of the foam pads meant no extra cutting. |
Stick all the shapes down onto the card leaving the middle space free for your text. |
 |
 |
 |
| This is the completed card. I used a thick border sticker on the left and right sides, a fine straight border sticker between the divisions of the squares and a multi color text sticker. |
A great baby card. |
