What fun to use 5 STAMPlorations products for my last 2021 Stencil Challenge!

I began by creating the stenciled main image:

Step 1: Attached ARTplorations Monika Skinner Designs Circle Flexi-Template over Strathmore 

Mixed Media paper using masking tape.  Then sponged through the stencil with 

Distress Oxide Salvaged Patina and Speckled Egg inks using makeup brushes.

Step 2: Left the Flexi-plate on and attached with tape the ARTplorations Holiday Trees Stencil and

added the Distress Rustic Wilderness Ink to trees with makeup brush. Used metallic gold

pen to stars and colored trunks with Zigs then removed tree stencil.

Step 3: Attached the ARTplorations Dots All Over Stencil with tape and used a sponge dauber to add 

Versafine clear ink, then removed image and heat embossed with SU Clear EB powder. 

Step 4: Die cut image with Memory Box Stitched Circle Die.

Die cut a larger circle and sponged with DI Rustic Wilderness and attached layers.

Step 5: Die cut CUTplorations Let it Snow Word Phrase Die ( I could not find product in store).

Then stamped with Versamark clear ink and Heat embossed with Rangers Distress Embossing

Glaze Speckled Egg and Cracked Pistachio..a total of 5 layers!! Gorgeous Shine!

Step 6:  Die cut SU colored cardstock cardbase with

 CUTplorations Circles All Over Texture Cover Plate.  Popped up main image with craft foam 

and attached sentiment with Connect Glue and Done:-)

I Loved the results of my NOT CAS card all inspired by the STAMPlorations Products!

Fun Creative way to end the 2021 Stencil challenges:-)

We hope you can join us this month and that we will see you back in 2022! 

Wishing you a Healthy and Happy Holiday Season with your family and friends.

Love and Thank you for supporting STAMPlorations!

Photo was taken before layering the die cut and outlined layer on the card on the right  over the original layer.

There are 4 different designs and total of 8 card fronts in each Quick Card Front set.

 Artsy Florals A2 Card Fronts before enhancing the images by outlining with a black art pen and die cutting word phrase Big Hugs 4 times and stacking.

Then die cut the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Dies frame,  popped up with craft foam and layered the card front over the same 2nd card front and outlined the image that extended beyond the top Quick Card Front layer.
