What a fun month with the launch of Loll's new CAS Stencil Card Challenge!
It is already time for the Reminder cards by the DT.
Be sure and check out all the fabulous inspiring CAS Sponged Stenciled cards.
Here is my Sponged and Heat Embossed Stenciled Card
I discovered a Sponged Stenciled background in my stash.
I had used ARTplorations Retro Circles Stencil that I taped down to Strathmore
Mixed Media paper. Then sponged with Distress Oxides: Faded Jeans and Lucky Clover.
I kept looking at the background and finally decided to try die cutting
with MB Stitched Circle Dies.
I really liked the circles and Heat Embossed with Clear Versamark ink and
SU Clear EB Powder.
SU Clear EB Powder.
This gave a beautiful shine to the circles and sharpened the colors.
You can't see the shine in my photo, but the sharp colors really show up in the photo.
Next I stamped the Papertrey Ink "Up, Up and Away" sentiment with Faded Jeans
and heat embossed with clear EB powder and then sponged with DOX Lucky Clover.

Thank you Dolly for gifting me this wonderful stamp set:-)
I had clear heat embossed the circles, so did the same with the entire tag
to make it nice and shiny like the circle. I die cut card front with CUTplorations
Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Die.
Next popped up each circle with die cut green fun foam, which adds a nice
shadow effect that you can see IRL. Then I popped up sentiment with dimensionals and Done!
Sure hope you can join us on the CAS Stencil Card Challenge.
You have until the 24th to play along:-) Hugs..

ReplyDeleteNancy, I love your idea of putting stenciled circles in the stitched circle die-cuts! The combination of Lucky Clover and Faded Jeans is fabulous! The shine of the clear embossing of the circles and the sentiment strip must look more beautiful in real life. The way you arranged the circles and the sentiment are in perfect balance(, as always)!
