Having fun playing with CAS Mix Up Stamping thru Stencil Challenge hosted by Jenny!
Be sure and check out the awesome CAS Reminder cards by our talented Design Team and our
Two Guest Designers Bobby and Michele.
Loving your challenge Jenny. I will be using this Stamping thru Stencil technique
more often because of you, my friend😀
I arranged the "Magenta Sunflowers Stencil" over SU 100# Basic White Cardstock,
so it was off the edge, which would then
give my card front more white space. Secured the stencil with 3M masking tape.
Then used i-Crafter's i- Brushes to blend the Distress Oxide Inks: Squeezed Lemonade,
Aged Mahogany, Lucky Clover, Fossilized Amber, and Fired Brick. I love these
dauber style brushes for small stencil openings.
Next stamped the images through the stencil with Archival Jet Black ink.
I used STAMPlorations
"Grunge and Mixed Media" and "Splitter Splattery Grunge" stamp sets.
I removed the stencil and immediately rubbed my stencil with Archival ink remover
and then washed the stencil in warm soapy water. It removed most of the ink.
I loved the stenciled sunflower image.
Next die cut the border with Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangle Die.
Then stamped the STAMPlorations Bee's Knees Layered Vase sentiment with DOX
Hickory Smoke. Attached to SU Crushed Cucumber card base and Done!
Love how the green card stock shows through the die cut border.
We hope you can play along with us using the stamping through stencil techniques.
You have until the 24th to play along in this fun challenge by Jenny.
Love and Hugs,

ReplyDeleteOh, I love everything about this card, Nancy! The daisies are so pretty with the grunge stamping! The hemstitch frame works perfectly and I love the green peeking through! I see why you love this stencil, my friend!
ReplyDeleteFabulous stenciled sunflower card, Nancy! The mix of the ink colors is beautiful, and the grunge pattern stamping through the stencil is just the right amount and adds so much interest to the flowers. The off-the-edge layout and the bright green peeking thru the hemstitch frame are wonderful design elements! I love this card, my dear friend!
