ARTplorations Slimline Flair Stencil.

STAMPlorations Happy Birthday.

CUTplorations Birthday Word Die.

A fun birthday card using the ARTplorations Slimline Flair Stencil. .

I laid the stencil over Strathmore Mixed Media 4" x 9" card base and secured with 3M masking tape making sure I only covered the frame around the stencil so the result would be a white frame on the finished card.

Next used i-Crafter i-Brushes to apply the Distress Oxide Inks: Cracked Pistachio,  Twisted Citron and Broken China.  Then removed the stencil.

Next Die-cut the CUTplorations Birthday Word Die  , Birthday word die out of same paper.

Sponged the same Distress Oxide inks onto the Birthday word then die-cut another word and attached to the colored word for added dimension using Gina K Connect Glue.  Attached Birthday to card.

Then stamped "Happy" using Happy Birthday stamp to a scrap and heat embossed with Broken China Ranger  Distress Embossing Glaze, which added a nice shine. Added sentiment to another layer of paper that I had sponged with Twisted Citron and popped up with craft foam and attached above the Birthday and Done!

Loved how well the colors blended thru the stencil using the i-brushes.

Enjoy and you have until the end of the month to add your stencil project and comment for prizes:-)

Love and Hugs..
