CAS May Stencil Challenge: Layered Stenciling

Time for our CAS May Stencil Challenge: Layered Stenciling hosted by Hilary  

Hilary has provided several video tutorials if you need ideas plus our 

awesome card samples by our creative Design Team and talented 

Guest Designer, Greta.

I have been looking forward to this challenge.  I need to do more layering of my

stencils.  A great way to use more awesome stencils:-)

Remember to keep your cards Clean and Simple.

 Out of Chaos Comes Creativity! 

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.

Then attached layers to Whisper White card base.

Added Visible Images "Creative Chaos" popped up sentiment and Done!

I loved how my Quick Clean and Simple card turned out.

We would love to have you join our May Stencil Challenge.  Awesome challenge, Hilary!

Stay safe and creative, dear friends.  You have until the 24th to play along:-)  Hugs..

Less is More #404 Typography

I am playing in the Less is More Typography Challenge.

"Visible Image" is the generous sponsor for the challenge.

Perfect timing as I just received 2 new Christmas stamp sets from their new release!

I loved the sentiments in the new "Sentimental Christmas" set.

Here is my Less is More Christmas card.

I used Distress Inks: Barn Door and Mowed Lawn for the smooshed background

and used the leftover inks for the splatters.

Placed in MISTI when dry and stamped the sentiment with Momento London Fog.

Then popped up on craft foam and attached to card base.

I decided to cover up some of the smooshing and splatters to make my 

card more CAS by adding a white die cut frame and Done!

So easy that I made a 2nd card with the leftover paint and products 

that were out and handy.  Love Twofers!

Adding 1st card also to the September CAS Watercolour Challenge: Complimentary Colors..

Enjoy and Happy Stamping...Hugs..

Here are 2 of my favorite cards...Enjoy!

 Cut Up Stamping Technique that I led.

Card I made using the technique after making DOX ink with Baby Wipe background

that Bonnie led.

I used Kia's Distress Oxide Inks and baby wipe video for my inspiration.

Thank you Kia (aplaceforkia).

Distress Oxide Inks:Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry

and Abandoned Coral. Ink pad to craft mat and spritzed with water

then smooshed onto Photo paper. Wiped off with baby wipe when dry.

Let dry again and then stamped with Archival Jet Black ink.  

Made sure dry by blotting with paper towel.

Cut out 1/2" diagonal piece and removed.

Added white craft foam to two pieces and added top piece to

card front.  Then stamped sentiment using MISTI.

Attached bottom piece and done!

Loved the results.  Two awesome techniques:-)

********

My 2nd card using DOX Blending and heat embossed image led by Lin.

Another favorite finished card.  More cards to share in future posts:-)

I used K. Werner's Blended Distress Oxides #7 You Tube Video 

to choose my DOX colors: Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade and Seedless Preserves.

I used makeup brushes or you can use mini sponge blending tools.  

When done with background, I stamped and heat embossed PB flower image.

Popped up main image with white craft foam onto cardstock and added PB sentiment.

Loved the results. Hugs...
