CAS Wall Flowers

By
A CAS card for two May challenges CAS Stencil Challenge to use layered stencils and Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge where I took the top line of Birthday-CAS-Green.

I've taken a little eight petal daisy stencil and distress oxide inks sponging four times in all with a different colour, turning the stencil slightly each time so the petals layer over each other.  I used two shades of green (evergreen bough/cracked pistachio) with yellow (squeezed lemonade) and lilac (shaded lilac) and created three flower heads.


Next I lightly brushed tattered rose distress ink over a wall stencil fading out the colour to one side, then over-layed a small dotty stencil and with a finger dauber added more of the same ink to give a darker pattern on some of the bricks but still keeping it subtle.


Added doodled stems with a black fine liner pen and some random accent dots too.  Stamped a sentiment and adhered three sequins to embellish which catch the light.  Panel mounted on a dark green card base.

I've used - A6 card base
Claritystamp stencil card
Various stencils
Distress Oxides & Ink
Woodware sentiment stamp

    Your daisy turned out beautifully with rotating the stencil to add different overlapping colours for the petals. Very creative, Steph! Love the soft look of your brick stenciling in pick. Thanks for sharing wtih us at CAS Stencil!

    Love all the stencil sponging you've done, Steph! I would never have thought to stamp the sentiment over the top of the flowers, but it looks SO much better than if you had stamped it out in the open space. It really works! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us at Double Trouble!!! -Donna

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

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
