STAMPlorations March Stencil Challenge

Time for our STAMPlorations Stencil Challenge💕

February is always a month off for all our STAMPlorations Challenges.

We are now all back and looking forward to inspiring you

with our awesome STAMPlorations Products😄

I was inspired by a few Spring flowers at home beginning to bloom💕

ARTplorations Slimline Riotous Blooms stencil.

CUTplorations Skinny Sentiments Dies.

Close Up of  Shine

I had such fun designing my ARTplorations Slimline Riotous Blooms stencil card.

I attached the slimline stencil to SU Basic White 100# 4" x 9" cardstock using masking

tape.  Then used i-Crafters blending brushes to add the Distress Oxide Inks

thru the stencil.  

I used these Distress Oxide Inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, 

Spiced Marmalade,Candied Apple, Picked Raspberry, Wilted violet and shaded Lilac.

I kept layering the colors until I was happy with the results and 

then removed the stencil.

Next I let my card front dry and then took it outside to spray with "Sheep 

Shimmer Craft Spray (Frost).  I let it dry and loved the shimmery watercolor effect.

Next I used CUTplorations Skinny Sentiments Dies for the sentiment.

I die cut the shadow layer using Ink Drops "Vivid" designer paper.

Then die cut the letters with SU Basic White and attached with Connect Glue.

I attached the stenciled card front to Basic White card base and Done!

I was very happy with the results and Loved the shimmer and Spring colors.

You have until the end of the month to play along.

We would love to have you join in the fun at STAMPlorations Stencil Challenge.

Love and Hugs..

I used 2 new stencils designed by Helen G for ARTlorations.  

I had so much fun layering the stencils.

I sprayed Pixie Spray on the back of the "Brick Wall" stencil.

Placed stencil over Strathmore Mixed Media paper,  secured with painters tape.

Then used a make up brush to blend Distress Oxide "Iced Spruce" thru the stencil.

It gave a light gray with a tint of spruce green soft background.  

I could not pick up the light green in the photo.

Then sprayed the "Petals 1" stencil and placed over brick wall background

securing with tape carefully so as not to tear background.

Used brush to blend Distress Oxides: Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, 

Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violets thru stencil. 

Removed stencil and went...Wow!!  Loved the effect!

Next die cut the layer with Memory Box Stitched Rectangles Die.

Placed in MISTI and stamped Penny Black "Special Sentiments" using Memento

London Fog dye ink.

Attached layer to SU Whisper White 100# card base and Done!

Thank you again Hilary for an awesome challenge.

I need to do stencil layering more often:-)  Hugs..

I played with a never before used "Rubber Bands" Stencil designed by 

Helen G for ARTplorations.

I sprayed the back of the stencil with Pixie Spray and then placed the stencil over

Strathmore Mixed Media paper and secured with a couple pieces of painters tape,

Then used make up brush to blend Distress Oxide Inks: Worn Lipstick, 

Picked Raspberry, Candied Apple and Wilted Violet.

Next used TCW Tiny Circles Stencil to add tiny circles in the different colors.

Then removed Rubber Bands Stencil.

Die Cut with CUTplorations "Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies" to get a beveled edge for my panel.

Attached panel to SU Whisper White 100# card front layer that I had die cut 

with same A2 Dies set.
