Day 1 STAMPlorations Belated 7th Birthday Fabulous Celebration!!
Be sure and check out all the Creative and Inspiring Projects by our
very talented Stamp Girls using New and Old Products!
I am Loving all my new Slimline Stencils. Shery designed and got the
slimline stencils in the
STAMPlorations Store just in time for the Slimline Card Rage!
I cut a 4" x 9" piece of Strathmore Mixed Media paper for the card front.
I used a make up brush to blend Tea Dye Distress Ink over the entire card front.
Then placed my New "Peeking Slimline Stencil" over card front and secured
with 3M masking tape.
Next I blended with make up brushes Distress Inks: Vintage Photo,
Squeezed Lemonade, Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon.
Removed stencil and went..."Wow"!
I Loved the blended colors, but felt something was missing.
I decided to outline the sunflowers with a Dark Brown Prismacolor Pencils,
which made the sunflowers pop, but in a subtle way, which I liked.
Next I attached a "Just Everyday Greeting" Happy Birthday sticker to a scrap
piece of mixed media paper that I colored and framed with another colored scrap.
Attached to card front and Done! I loved the results!
Tip: If you cut your card front 4" x 9", which is the same size as all of the Slimline Stencils, you will get a nice frame:-)
Your finished card fits nicely in a business size envelope! No extra postage.

ReplyDeleteThe most important part of the process is to go "wow" when you take the stencil off! Seriously, I'd go "wow", too! What a nice way to make a postage-friendly slimline card! I like how you outlined the stencil. In this case it was just the right thing to do!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Nancy, love the colours you used for that pretty flower and perfect on a slimline card :)

This is just gorgeous! Love the colors and that it's a slimline.
ReplyDeleteWow is right, Nancy! Love these sunflowers! A fabulous choice of colors, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI like the pinky peachy color you chose. This looks very pretty.
ReplyDeleteNancy, you do the best ink blending I've seen and LOVE your color combination. I'm in awe of your steady hand tracing around that stencil too. I know I'd have some wiggle marks in there. Beautiful card!
ReplyDeletePretty stencil design!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful and the outlining is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteBlending the Tea Dye ink all over the card base made the card so special and warm, Nancy! It reminds me of an old sepia photo full of sweet memories. Your sunflowers are stunning, and outlining them with a dark brown pencil definitely made a difference!
