ARTplorations Peeking Sunflowers Slimline Stencil.

Clear Stickers Shine Bright

The ARTplorations Peeking Sunflowers Slimline Stencil has been a favorite of mine,

since day one💕 If you type in "STAMPlorations Slimline Stencils" into my 

 Search in Blog box you can view more of my STAMPlorations Slimline Stencil Cards.

I began by cutting a 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" mini slimline card base using SU 100# Basic White

Cardstock.  Then cut a 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" card front and secured my

ARTplorations Peeking Sunflowers Slimline Stencil using masking tape.

Then the fun began using i-Crafters Blending Brushes to blend 

Ranger Distress Oxide Inks:

Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo.

Then removed stencil and fussy cut the sunflowers to fit the card front.

Next cut a piece of Ink Drops "Ocean" Craft Paper 3 1/2" x 6" and attached to

card front.  Attached sunflowers and then heat embossed the center of the flowers with

Versamark and Ranger Distress Embossing Glaze Vintage Photo.

Then Added 3 "Shine Bright" Clear Stickers and Done💞

I was very pleased with the results.

This is a Thinking of You card for a dear friend.

Thank you for visiting and hope you can play along too with your stencils.

Love and Hugs,

ARTplorations Sanna Lippert Designs Fairy Tale Forest Stencil.

Clear Stickers Free Spirit 

CUTplorations Crazy Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies

I used a Stencil Monoprint Technique on Strathmore Mixed Media paper.

I placed the ARTplorations Sanna Lippert Designs Fairy Tale Forest Stencil

over the MM paper.

Next I  sprinkled Bisters crystal inks over the stencil and spritzed with water

using Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer to reconstitute the crystals.  Then carefully 

flipped the stencil onto another piece of MM paper and used a paper towel to press the

inks into the MM paper.  That gives you a cool monoprint image.

You can see then how the white areas are the Fairy Tale Forest Stencil image.

You can get another 1 or 2 lighter images on more paper for softer backgrounds.

I got 2 more pulls for future projects:-)  I used Yellow, Green, Blue and Natural 

Bisters crystals.

When 1st image was dry I die cut with 

CUTplorations Crazy Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies.

Added natural twine.  Popped up with craft foam STAMPlorations

 Clear Stickers Free Spirit sentiment.

Attached layers to SU Crumbcake Cardstock and Done!

I loved the earth tones and the stenciled monoprint image.

There are so many creative ways to use stencils

and STAMPlorations ARTplorations has a huge selection to choose from:-)

You have until the end of the month to hop along with us at 

STAMPloration Stencil  Anything Goes Challenge!

STAMPlorations June Stencil Reminder

Time for our June Stencil Extra Challenge projects at STAMPlorations!

This is our Last Stencil Challenge...Until September when we will be back after our Summer break!

We would love to have you join the fun.  Anything Goes as long as you use one or more stencils!

Here is my card using

ARTplorations by Helen G Rubber Bands Stencil.

Craft Supplies Clear Stickers Happy Happy.

STAMPlorations Leafy by Dee's Artsy Impressions.

I began by sponging the SU Basic White 100# cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks using i-Crafter i-Brushes.  I used Crack Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and Squeezed Lemonade.

Then attached with 3M masking tape the ARTplorations Helen G's Rubber Bands Stencil to the sponged cardstock.  Then blended DOX Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers thru the stencil.

Removed Stencil.  Placed sponged card front in Misti and stamped the leaves from the Leafy  stamp set

with Versafine black ink and heat embossed with SU Clear Embossing Powder.

Trimmed card front and added the Happy Happy Clear Sticker sentiment over 100# white cardstock and trimmed and attached to Black Basic cardstock for a frame.  Added a black narrow border for fun and attached card front to SU 100# card base and Done!

Enjoy and hope you join us for our last Stencil Challenge until September.

Wishing you a safe and wonderful Summer.

Love and Hugs..

ARTplorations Slimline Burst Stencil

Clear Stickers Hey Sunshine

Close Up of the Heat Embossed Stenciled Burst!

I was inspired by my friend,  Karen's (Snippets) artsy Bubble Wrap Resist card!

But instead of Bubble Wrap Resist I used a Stencil Resist Technique using ARTlorations 

Slimline Burst Stencil.

I used Strathmore Mixed Media paper and attached the stencil using 3M Masking Tape.

I added Versamagic Clear White pigment ink using a sponge dauber.

Removed stencil and added SU Clear EB Powder and heat embossed.

The next Fun Step😀

Applied Distress Inks lengthwise using ink pads directly on a large acrylic block.

I used in this order: Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, Festive Berries, Broken China and Peacock Feathers.  Used Distress Sprayer to add a fine mist over the inks.

Then Dragged acrylic block down mixed media paper.  Wow!! Awesome rainbow colored effect!

Used a paper towel to wipe off the inks on the heat embossed stenciled Burst image.

Let background dry.  Then trimmed to 3 3/4" x 6" for a mini slimline card front.

Added Hey Sunshine Clear Stickers sentiments and attached to 100# card base and Done!

Loved the results!   Thank you Karen for always Inspire me, my friend😊

We would love to have you join the fun! Be sure to follow the rules so you will be eligible for prizes!

Love and Hugs...

STAMPlorations Stencil Reminder Challenge: January

Already time for the STAMPlorations Stencil January Reminder Challenge!

We love your projects you have entered and you still have until the end of January to play along.  The Stencil DT Girls have more inspiring projects too!

ARTplorations Overlap Stencil. and Dots All Over Stencil.

Clear Sticker Inspiration #1

CUTplorations Crazy Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies.

 Two more stencil backgrounds from my stash:-)

I chose the Overlap Stenciled image 1st.  Die cut with the smallest Die from the Crazy Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies.

Then the time consuming step:  Finding just the right stencil background from my stash.  I finally found the  Dots All Over Stencil background,  which I happened to make the same day I made  my Overlap stencil background using the same Bisters Powdered Inks.  Bisters are mostly neutral colors and I do love the results.

I used the monoprint technique for both backgrounds.   I  used Yupo paper for the Overlap Stencil layer and Strathmore Mixed Media for the Dots All Over Stencil.

I used Green, Yellow and Red Bisters on both layers. I popped up the top layer with craft foam and then added the Inspiration #1 Clear Sticker and sequins.

Attached layers to kraft cardstock.

I think this would be an inspiring guy card!

We would love to have you play along with us.

Stay Healthy and Creative,  dear friends...Hugs..

My stencil traced card!

I began by using a #4 paint brush to add Gansai Tambi Pearl Watercolors on Yupo paper.

The Pearl colors give a beautiful subtle sheen to the background.

Used: Lemon Yellow, May Green, Pink, Scarlet Red, and Cobalt Blue for a soft 

rainbow effect.

Then sprayed ARTplorations Prim Pattern Stencil with Pixie Spray,  a light tacky

adhesive.  Placed stencil over Yupo paper and traced with Ultra Fine Point Black Sharpie.

Die Cut background and SU Whisper White 100# CS frame with 

Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangles Dies. Popped up background with white craft foam.

Added die cut Alexandra Renke Spring Flowers Die using Gina K Connect Glue.

I received several A. Renke die cut flowers from my dear friend Bonnie 

a couple of years ago.  I still have more for future cards:-)

Added CRAFTplorations "Shine Bright" Clear Sticker to a scrap of 100# CS

and trimmed,  then attached to background and Done!
