STAMPlorations December Stencil Challenge: Anything Goes

Time for the STAMPlorations Stencil Challenge Reminder.

You still have until the end of December to play along:-)

Here are the Guidelines for the Challenge and Prizes!

I decided to make a Birthday card for a December birthday.  Enjoy!

Leaf Prints Stencil

Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies,  Skinny Sentiments Dies

I am Loving the "CUTplorations Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies" set.  My card front and both 

panels were cut by 3 of the sizes of dies in the set.  They add a beautiful clean

beveled edge to each panel.  A very versatile set with "9" dies:-)

I used ARTplorations "Leaf Prints Stencil" with Brushos Brilliant Red and Orange pigment

powder inks.  I placed the stencil over mixed media and secured with masking tape. 

Then spritzed with water to blend the inks.  Carefully removed masking tape

then turned the stencil over and laid onto another card front to get a stencil monoprint

image for a future project.

After backgrounds dried I die cut the positive image panel and popped up with 

white craft foam and attatched to card base.  Then cut a small panel from

the monoprint piece, die cut  and popped up with foam and placed next to 1st panel.

Next used CUTplorations "Skinny Sentiments Dies" to die cut the sentiment from

the monoprint image and attached to panel.  A fun bold artsy look!

Be sure and check out all the gorgeous projects by all the other Stencil Girls!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, dear friends.  

Thank you also for all your thoughtful and much appreciated Comments!

STAMPlorations December Stencil Anything Goes Challenge

Time for our year ending December 2019 STAMPlorations Stencil Anything Goes Challenge!
Our STAMPGirls will be sharing Reminder projects on Dec. 15th, 2019.
Our next Stencil Challenge will be January 1, 2020!

We would love for you to play along!  You do not have to use STAMPlorations products,
but we love it when you do:-)

Here are the Challenge Guide Lines and Prizes!

 

Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies,
Autumn Falling Stencil and Skinny Sentiments Dies.

I began by laying my "Autumn Falling Stencil" over mixed media paper 

that I had die cut with CUTplorations Basic A2 Panels Nesting Die.  

Then secured stencil with masking tape.

  Next sprinkled Bisters pigment ink powders over stencil 

and spritzed with water to blend the colors and reconstitute the inks.

I used Yellow, Red and Mahogany inks. Loved the color combo!

Then carefully lifted the stencil and removed tape and turned over the stencil onto

another A2 die cut piece of mixed media paper to transfer the excess ink.

I laid a paper towel over stencil and gently moved and blended the wet ink with my hands.

I used the paper towel to carefully blot excess ink from the original positive 

stenciled mixed media layer and the 2nd monoprint layer.

I will save the positive stenciled mixed media image for a future project.

Steps for designing finished card:
1) Die cut A2 background and 2 smaller panel dies with "A2 Panels Dies:. 
2) Die cut white craft foam for the 2 largest panels using same dies.
3) Attached foam to A2 background and 2nd panel and attached to card base.
4) Inlaid 3rd smaller panel.
5) Die cut Hello using CUTplorations "Skinny Sentiments" Dies. I am loving the "Skinny
Sentiments
Sentiments" Dies, which has 7 words and 7 shadow backgrounds:-)

Done!  Thank you for reading all my description:-) Hugs..
