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!
