STAMPlorations May Extra Stencil Challenge

STAMPlorations May Extra Stencil Challenge has begun with fabulous projects by our Design Team'  We would love to have you play along. You have until the end of April to play and comment.

ARTplorations Peeking Dahlias Stencil

Clear Stickers Spring Magic

CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Dies

I positioned the ARTplorations Peeking Dahlias Stencil over Strathmore Mixed Media paper and secured with 3M Masking Tape.  Then used a sponge dauber to apply Clear Versamark thru the stencil on just the top flower.  Carefully removed card front from masked stencil.

Sprinkled center of flower with a combination of Distress Embossing Glaze Antique Linen and Vintage Photo for a light brown color.  Then removed excess Embossing Glaze powder onto copy paper and carefully poured excess powder back into tiny jar to use another time.   Then heat embossed the brown Glaze.  Used the same technique for each color of Distress Embossing Glaze: Rusty Hinge,  Fired Brick and Fossilized Amber.

Replaced card front under masking tape and added Clear Versamark to bottom flower.  Removed card front and repeated the same steps and heat embossing techniques.  Loved the shiny beautiful colors on both Dahlia blooms.

Die cut the frame with the largest A2 Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Die.

Attached to SU Basic White 100# card base.  Then added the Clear Stickers Spring Magic sentiment and Done!  

My card will be going to my dear 92 year old girlfriend,  Daisy!

She has always been an avid gardener and loves ALL Flowers.

Enjoy our Spring weather and getting outside to play in the dirt!  Love and Hugs..
