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!

Autumn Days

By

Autumn is one of my favourite seasons, looking forward to the rich colours of the changing leaves, squirrels busy collecting fallen acorns, fungi raising their heads above ground and seeing sunflowers still in bloom.  This card was made for a September birthday. I made my own background panel (pictured below) with two distress oxide inks smooshed on it before dry embossing with a layered leaves stencil. Stencilled on top of the raised embossing with various dye inks then used the second layering stencil to just ink the tops of the acorns.  Panel matted on burgundy cardstock.  Wanted to use a recent sale purchase of an Apple Blossom die set which creates a circular shaped puzzle centrepiece and chose a sunflower patterned paper from a recent magazine along with the same burgundy cardstock for the frame.  Once paper pieced back together this was mounted on the background panel. The fungi and butterfly are printed transparency images which were gifted to me, these I've ...

100 Birthday Wishes

Made for the uncle of a crafting friend celebrating his 100th birthday who still enjoys a bit of gardening.  Card Making Magic's Spring Garden stamp set that came with issue 119 of Creative Stamping seemed ideal to use and I also wanted to have lots of colour so what better than a rainbow background. Distress oxide inks were brushed over a stencil to create the abstract background then water drops flicked over to create some interest.  Gardening images stamped in brown ink directly onto the panel with masks used so the hand tools could be stamped behind the flower pots.  Images were coloured with a mixture of polychromos, metallic pencils and gel pens with added white gel pen highlights. Number 100 stamped in green ink with a bracket below again with some white gel highlights ... a topiary sculpture maybe?  White embossed sentiment on the same colour card as the matt layer. I've used - 6x6" white card base Issue 119 Creative Stamping covermount Claritystamp abstract ...

Woodware Birthday Grid meets Distress Oxides

By

My first post for 2019 and I'm sharing a card made with some new purchases ... I've finally bought some Distress Oxides so had a play and created an inky background.  Using three colours (spiced marmalade, cracked pistachio & squeezed lemonade) I decided to do a combination of inking on and through a stencil mask with a bit of water spritzing as well.  I quite like that the colours stay on top of each other without affecting the colours underneath and it's definitely a lovely chalky finish. Another new purchase was the Woodware birthday grid stamp by Jane Gill, I do like the grid arrangement of all the sentiments leaving two spaces so you can add other images to suit.  I've added social media type die cuts as this is a card for a male who's always on his mobile phone 😊.  Final touch was randomly stamping a filmstrip down one side and adding #smile in the corner. I've used -  5x7 white card base Distress Oxide Inks on  Clarity Stencil Card Th...
