Technique – stencilling

Featuring stencilling

Cheers

Hi Everyone!

I’m back in my craft room after being away and it feels so good!

The theme for this week’s Less is More challenge is ‘shadow’ so I used a shadow/stencilling technique that Shari Carroll shared at Simon Says Create in 2015.

I used SSS fog card as my base and applied SSS Smoke ink over a Tim Holtz stencil and then moved it slightly before applying Lawn Fawn yeti ink. I used SSS banner dies to cut the panel and cut a vellum banner using the same die set, cutting it twice to remove the fishtail portion of the banner.

I cut the MFT Cheers die and three times – once with DCWV glitzy paper (isn’t it fabulous?!) and twice with white cardstock and then stuck them together before adding it to my card. I’m also entering this into the current SSS Flickr challenge –‘anything goes’.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Spring!

Hi there!

The daffodils are gradually being replaced by tulips in my part of the world and today I saw some beautiful tulips in Borde Hill Gardens which inspired me to make this card using a beautiful Memory Box die. The stamp is by Simon Says Stamp and I also used a new Altenew Stencil to add some interest to the base card.

I’m entering this into the current Case This Sketch challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Starting on my Easter cards

 

Happy Saturday everyone!

It’s time for me to start on my Easter cards and made this one using a Memory Box die, lots of Pretty Pink Posh sequins and a stencil by The Crafter’s Workshop. I’m entering this into two challenges – AAA Cards (die cuts) and Less is More challenge (pastels).

Thanks for stopping by!

Making other plans!

Hi there!

Day 29 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge and I didn’t have too much time for colouring today as I’ve been travelling. I was able to colour this image from Penny Black using my Inktense pencils this evening!

The sentiment is from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous and I also used a stencil from My Favourite Things to anchor the image.

I’m entering this into three challenges – Case this Sketch, Less is More (use a frame) and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge (things with wings).

Thanks for stopping by!

Great Friend

Hi there!

I’m a little late with this, but here is what I coloured for Day 22 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge. I coloured an image from Clearly Besotted using my Twinkling H2Os and then used a stencil to add a little bit of interest to the base card. The sentiment is another Hero Arts stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!
