In case you missed it, my Tuesday night livestream didn’t quite make it to the finish line. But hey, we gave it our best shot—and managed to cover the first half of this fabulous Linked Together card before the Wi-Fi had other plans.

What We Got Through

Before my internet decided to take a nap, we tackled the background of this card using one of the Linked Together Decorative Masks. Starting with crisp white cardstock, I added two shades of Classic Stampin’ Pad ink to bring the intricate pattern to life. Is it 3D? Not technically, but the layered colors create such depth that it sure feels like it!

What’s Next?

While the stream may have been cut short, the crafting doesn’t stop! I’ll be sharing the rest of the steps to complete this card in an upcoming post—stay tuned for more Linked Together fun. If you love the look of layered stenciling and intricate details, this card is for you!

Watch the “Short but Sweet” Replay

Catch the replay of the livestream below, and watch me work some stencil magic before the tech gremlins stepped in. It’s a perfect little teaser for what’s to come!
