CAS Stencil October Challenge

By
This month's CAS Stencil Challenge is to stencil over the top of patterned paper ... okay, yes I admit I have a lot of patterned papers waiting to see the light of day ... took a while to pick what to use but I settled on a subtle rose pattern.

I placed two stencils on my patterned paper at the same time, the heart over the top of the diamonds to combine an open shape with a detailed pattern and applied distress oxide ink.  Once that was dry and die cut into a circle the little butterfly stencil was added, one on the patterned paper and one partly on/off onto the card base.


You might just be able to see a pair of border score lines to frame the design, this was achieved by dry embossing two of my square nesting dies directly onto the card base as I felt it looked a little plain otherwise.  The same DO colour was used on the sentiment to match the butterflies.  Here's a picture of the stencils and inks used.



I've used -
5x5" scalloped edge white card base
Various mag freebie stencils & patterned paper
Distress Oxide inks (shaded lilac/wild honey)
Unbranded stitched circle die
Xcut sentiment die

    Lovely card Steph, very pretty soft colours and a cool idea to use two overlayered stencils on the DP (oh yes don't we have lots to choose from) --- thanks for sharing with CAS Stencil, Robyn

    Great use of your Stencils Steph! I cleared out lots of patterned paper but still managed to find some for the theme this month.... The double stencil technique is a perfect example of how to make our stash go further too so a double well done for that! Thanks for joining in with us at CAS Stencil this month. x

    So pretty Steph. I love the colours you've stenciled over top (lilac and wild honey) which are opposites on the colour wheel. Those complementary colours always look fabulous together! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Stencil!

Birthday Wishes Cake

Made my own mixed media background panel for this birthday cake card with inks, stencils, stamps, glitter paste, stencil butter and embossing powder.  You might have to zoom in to see the sparkle and shine.  A favourite three tier cake with chocolate sprinkles ... yum! For the background I started by blending two DO inks onto white cardstock.  Repeatedly placed the mandala stencil on top, spritzed with water and dabbed off with paper towel to create a faux bleach effect.  Glitter paste and stencil butter was applied through parts of the seed head stencil.  Embossing powder was sprinkled over the top of the stencil butter and heated once dry.  Random stamping with various inks. Three tier cake die cut from scraps of pearlised card for the layered toppings (white layer was an embossing folder scrap) and similarly inked card as the background panel for the bases which have stencilled white heat embossed wavy lines.  Added a birthday wishes word banner die in white pearlised card backed wi

Musical Crossword ... Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge

Set myself an additional challenge this week to combine a crossword stamp into the current  Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge  ... easy really just write the names of some instruments into the squares!  I also wanted to try the Retiform (grid) inking technique again and this is the end result. The crossword stamp was inked and embossed first before sponging distress ink along the edges of my paper masks to create several shaped areas into which I stamped musical instruments and notes using grey and black inks.  Finished off with an apt "Just a note to say ... " sentiment.

Tim Holtz Christmas

By

Today I'm sharing a couple of Christmas cards using two Tim Holtz die sets (Christmas circle words & festive repeats) which I've found are very versatile as many of the elements can be used all year round, a definite bonus.  This first little card has a die cut grid background and two hanging paper-pieced baubles for Dec 25th in grey and red with a splash of green foliage mounted on a grey matt layer. For my second card I chose to die cut the elements out of the white matt layer so the gold card base could show through.  I've had the gold die cut tree in my stash for such a long time so decided to emboss a tree on top for added texture and raised it on foam pads.  A lovely Christmas script sentiment was heat embossed with gold EP. I've used -   4x4" & A6 card bases Sizzix thinlits Tim Holtz festive repeat & circle words Christmas dies Mag freebies - foliage die, sentiment stamp, tree EF Linking up wit
