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!
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.
