STAMPlorations April Stencil Anything Goes Challenge

Time for STAMPlorations April Stencil  Anything Goes Challenge!
You are going to be so inspired by the STAMPGirls very creative projects:-)



Shery has so many Clear Stickers for every occasions. I found the perfect one for this
very difficult time all around the world.....


ARTplorations Overlap Stencil, Clear Stickers: Inspirational #1 and Bits of Washi.
Thank you Shery for designing so many wonderful Clear Stickers sentiments and images.
Your Inspirational #1 sticker was a wonderful sentiment expressing the need to
remain Strong during this very scary virus that has spread world wide.

I used soft, soothing Shadow Black muted earth tones to watercolor thru this creative
ARTplorations "Overlap Stencil".  This was my 1st time to use this stencil and I was so
pleased with the results:-) I did use Pixie Spray light tack adhesive under stencil.

I then die cut the framing and popped up the center die cut with foam and attached
to SU Whisper White 100# cardbase. Added the Clear Stickers and Done!  
A Quick Clean and Simple card design:-)

Sharing photo of my supplies.
Supplies: Watercolored stenciled card front, jar of water, Shadow Black watercolors, 
"Overlap" stencil,  palette and paint brush. plus Pixie Spray.

I used Greenish Black, Bluish Black, Reddish Black, Yellowish Black and Brownish 
Black watercolors. I did not use the Purplish Black in the set. 

STAMPloration Products:

  1. What an uplifting card this is. I love that sentiment and you never do know what your words, smile or touch can inspire in someone. I never knew about all those blacks and such a cool assortment. A lovely card, Nancy.

  3. The sentiment is quite timely indeed. i’ve never used stickers in my cardmaking before... probably because I love to stamp too much. 😂 Wonderful job watercoloring with stencils and keeping the seepage to a minimum.

    1. I forgot to add that I used Pixie Spray (light tack) adhesive under the stencil, which helps prevent the seepage. I will add to my supply list. Hugs...Stay well..Nancy

  9. I love your color choices as well as your geometric design. This looks so fun to do and I may have to have that stencil. (Sigh) I have to quit following blogs so I don't have to have everything I see and how people use them- but I will do it anyway (laughing). The joy of crafting is shopping!

  11. This is so cool, Nancy! I love the design of the stencil and the beautiful muted colors of the paint. Watercoloring with a stencil must be hard, but you did a fantastic job! The sentiment on the clear sticker is very uplifting and perfect in this trying time. Thanks for sharing this inspiring card, my friend! Hugs.. Hideko
