Using Stencils

Hello again. Cardz 4 Galz has started a new challenge. I am hosting this time round, and have chosen the theme of:

Use Stencils

Here is my card:

I chose to keep this a fairly simple design, but I did do quite a bit of masking and changing colours on the same stencil layer.

There are three layers to this stencil set, and I wanted each of the flowers to be different colours.

Once the flowers were complete, I then used a small blending brush and some light brown ink and went round the edges of each of the compartments, hoping to create a muted and vintage look to each of the small backgrounds. I then used the same light brown ink to splatter, and also to stamp some of the Royal Mail detail. I think it is great that Waffle Flower Crafts recognises us over here – love that idea.

Once dry, this was then die cut using the postage collage die.

I hope you can come and join us with your creations using stencils. xx

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Ally’s Angels – anything goes

Beautiful Blossoms – flowers/florals

A Perfect Time To Craft – anything goes

Ellibelle’s Corner – anything goes

Stencil Fun – use stencils – option of hello/winter not taken

    BEAUTIFUL!!! The ‘postage stamp die/stencils’ are quite the rage right now (I can’t believe I haven’t jumped on the band wagon yet lol) and your card is a great example of why they are so popular. Beautiful springtime flowers and all the pretty colors! VERY nicely done my friend!! Your card is a breath of fresh air on these gloomy winter days.
    Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our STENCIL FUN challenge!  Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
