STAMPlorations CAS Card Challenge: Optional Color Twist: Dark Navy

Time for our STAMPlorations CAS Card Challenge Anything Goes: 
Optional Color Twist: Dark Navy.


Be sure and check out the beautiful cards by our talented Design Team!



The beautiful ARTplorations Peony Number Two-Stencil 
is the star of my STAMPlorations CAS Card.

I secured the stencil with masking tape and then used TH Blending Tool
to sponge Distress Oxide inks: Faded Jeans and Blueprint Sketch
 in a circular motion onto Neenah CS.

Removed stencil carefully and when dry stamped Blossom Dreams sentiment 
with Versafine Black ink and heat embossed with clear EB powder.

Next added a yellow candy dot and a bit of Washi Tape to balance the image.
I added a swipe of Distress Oxide to the card base to give the look of a colored border.
 Attached the image to the card base and Done.

I liked the simple design and hope you like it too.
We would love to have you play along with us at STAMPloration.

We would love to have you play along with our April CAS Card Challenge.
You have until the last day in March to play along.  Hugs..

STAMPlorations Stencil Sunday Projects

I am pleased to be joining in STAMPlorations "Stencil Sunday".
Shery is again starting up this fun post using ARTplorations stencils.
Each month there will be stencil projects on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sunday.

I am sharing 4 Stencil Bookmark Projects the 3rd Sunday of March!


My STAMPloration Stencils, Stamps and Dies.
Sponged Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide Ink onto 2 1/4" x 6" 
Strathmore 140# Mixed Media Paper.

Placed "Fairy Tale Forest" Stencil over sponged bookmark and secured stencil
with masking tape. Then sponged with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink.

Stamploration Products used for stenciled bookmarks.

My 1st Stenciled Bookmark.

Showing the shine from the heat embossed sentiment and
"Fairy Tale Forest" stenciled image.
Because this is a bookmark, I wanted to protect the ink from smearing
onto book pages by heat embossing.  

*****

My 2nd Stenciled Bookmark

This bookmark background was an unplanned design.
I could not waste all the Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink on the stencil
from the 1st bookmark. 
What's a girl to do...make a Monoprint image, of course:-)

It turned out beautifully with the "Fairy Tale Forest" Stencil!
I finished both 2 1/2" x 6" bookmarks with a cardstock frame and ribbon. 

*****
My next 2 bookmark projects.
Sponged bookmarks using Distress Inks instead of Distress Oxide Inks and
used a different design than my 1st two bookmarks.

*****

My 3rd Stenciled Bookmark

I used 2 of the "ATC Tag Builders" Dies to die cut the top and bottom of
my bookmark.  Then stenciled the tag using the "Weaving" Stencil and Mowed Lawn
Distress Ink.  Stamped the sentiment and heat embossed with clear EB powder.

*****

My 4th Stenciled Bookmark using ATC Tag Builder Dies.

I used the new "Bloomdala #4" and "Bloomdala #14" Stencils sponging with Blueprint
Sketch Distress Ink.  Stamped sentiment and heat embossed 2" x 5 3/4" bookmark.

Thank you if you made it all the way down my photo post!

Thank you Shery for encouraging me to finally take photos of my design process.
