CAS Mix Up Stamping Through Stencil

Time for our CAS Mix Up Stamping Through Stencil hosted by Jenny.

Here is what Jenny has to say,

I love this technique because it adds so much interest and depth to your stenciling. I personally find it easier to use a fairly open pattern to make it easier to get a good impression.

Be sure and check out the wonderful card samples by our Design Team and our talented

Guest Designer,  Bobby (Bits & Pieces) and Michele (I card Everyone)

My card using Stamping,  Stamping thru Stencil & Sponging

This is my 1st time to try stamping thru a stencil.  Thank you Jenny for the challenge.  I always Love trying new techniques, my friend.  As you can see,  I chose a stencil with larger openings because of your advice!  Thank you!

I chose STAMPlorations Design Blox #5 Stencil 5.8" x 7.8".  The stencil is also part of the

  Birthday Bundles #1 for a discount.  I sprayed the stencil with Pixie Spray, a light tack spray.

Then placed on SU Basic White 100# cardstock.  Moved to MISTI.

Stamped STAMPlorations In Bloom: Heartfelt Hibiscus using Archival Jet Black Ink.

Tip: Immediately cover stencil with Archival Ink Remover and place in sink of warm soapy water to remove the ink from the stencil.  I got all,  but a tiny bit of ink off my stencil.

After ink dried completely I used i-crafters i-brushes to blend the SU inks.

To get a smooth blend with the SU inks I tapped the brush lightly onto ink pad and then tapped brush onto scratch paper and then blended the inks for the background, flower and leaves. 

 It gave a smooth blend.

I used new SU ink pads that were quite juicy. I listed the colors in my supply list.

I removed stencil and was very pleased with the depth and texture from the technique.

Next I trimmed the piece and stamped the STAMPlorations Helenium-Lg Hello sentiment using Archival Jet black ink.

I tried framing with a layer of black cardstock, but then thought it was more CAS if 

I trimmed all,  but the left side of frame.  Added a few sequins,  attached to card base and Done!

This was a fun challenge and I am looking forward to using the technique again!

You have until the 24th to play along.  

We would love to see your CAS Stencil cards😊

Love and Hugs and enjoy your Summer, but stay safe!
