TIPS:
- Use a highlighter / light sticky tape to keep all the pieces of the “Dad” die together to keep them straight as you alternate the stripes’ colors. This helps keep pieces in the correct order.
- Use foam tabs behind the focal elements to make them stand out from the background.
- Hand cut the stenciled background leaving a small white border around the stencil and layer over a white card base for a more interesting layered look on the front.
- Mimic the colors of the stripes in the stenciled background on the “Dad” die stripes for a unified look.
