another DECOR ELEMENT STENCIL CARD

Here is another stencil sample I did for Saturday's Team Meeting in York. I used a different stencil (I love these so much) called Flowing Flowers. The card base is rose red with natural SU! card stock. I first placed the stencil on the cardstock and then used a dauber by SU! to color the flower. I used cameo coral ink first and then added rose red on top. Next I ran the card stock through the Big Shot to get the polka dot texture. I also die cut one of Shelli's exclusive butterflies from the BIG SHOT also. You can only get this die from SU! The ribbon was ivory taffeta from SU! that I sponged with rose red so it would match the card perfectly. That is a great thing about SU! ribbons. Just take your sponge and ink it up with the color you like and rub it onto the ribbon. Nice results. The stamp set is absolutely fabulous. I love the handwritten script font for this set. The butterfly was also texturized with the Big Shot.
More stencil samples coming soon!

DECOR ELEMENTS STENCILS

We have our REMARKABLES TEAM MEETING in York, Pa. this Saturday and I volunteered to do a display board of our BRAND NEW DECOR ELEMENTS STENCILS. I ordered a few different kinds, but by far my favorite is the one I used on this card called Kind Thoughts Flourish. I always thought stencils were for painting and decorating the walls. Then I stumbled on some samples by Patti Bennett and saw how she adapted them to cards. In fact, I have to admit, I somewhat cased this design from her. She used different stamps but had a very similar design to this. For this card, I used chocolate chip card stock as the base. Next I placed Parisian breeze specialty designer paper on top of that. I love that paper. It has the weight of card stock and it has texture to it. I stamped Sense of Time stamp set with chocolate chip classic ink on that paper and also on the BIG SHOT creamy caramel scallop circle die cut. I added crystal effects to the hands on the clock and dotted the center of the inner wheel. The stencil was actually done before the clock. I stenciled using a SU! sponge dauber and baja breeze classic ink. I really began to go to town with this stencil and I also tried the flowing flowers stencil. Tomorrow I'm going to do something with cheap talk stencil. I promise to photograph the other samples I'll be showing at the meeting and put them on my blog soon.
