Playing with stencils

Welcome.
 I am always glad to see you have visited.

I went to a craft fair this past week, and indulged in some new supplies, which included some stencils.

This afternoon I spent the afternoon 'playing' with them.
The following cards are the results from one stencil.



The stencil has various clock faces and hands on it, and I used Orchid, Coral and Lavender Pearlescent inks to stencil onto white card.


This done I then sprayed it with a silver glimmer mist, and over-stamped it with a watch image using Platinum Pearlescent ink.


I wanted a masculine card, so added some washi tape over some of the pink inked area to mute it, computer generated the sentiment and cut it using a labels three die, sponging it with the Lavender ink.  I cut another die cut and sponged the corners and mounted them cross wise and on foam tape.


After mounting this on a dark blue base some black pearls finished the card. 

I also computer generated the inside sentiment "Your Birthday"



The other card was made from the balance of the original card. I stencilled some butterflies from a negative die cut from a new die, using the  same three inks up the edge of the card, and also sponged the edges.


I added this sentiment as it fitted the theme of the card.


Some random placements of pearls finished this card after it was mounted on a light purple base.

I am linking these to:

Card 1 - Masculine

Card 2 Feminine

Thank you for visiting, and any comments left are deeply appreciated.
May your day be blessed.

  6. Nice that you managed to get to the fair. I enjoy going to our stamp shows in our area. This year I even had tickets but was unable to go.
    Your stencil card turned out really pretty. Looks like a stencil that you will find lots of uses for.
    I like to use stencils. I have used them with copics...for zentangel, with embossing paste...glitter...and pens...etc.
