Even More Stencil Fun

Morning, a very busy week here in the craft room with more inspiration using the new May release from Uniko.
First off the rank is this pink delight.



This uses the new Stylized Floral stencil and Simply Said Blocks II plus the older but goody Pure Florals Cosmos.
I channelled my inner Jennifer McGuire again for this card using the Rotating Stencil Technique.
I started with a panel of pink card inked with Picked Raspberry DOx, then rotated and the process repeated. Placing the stencil over the inked panel again, I inked through with white pigment ink.
Using an Avery Elle die, I cut the angled panel of white linen effect card and popped it over the inked panel. The sentiment was stamped with the same DOx on a strip of white card and glued in place. I decided it looked a little too spartan so added the blooms, coloured with Copics and fussy cut.

My second card uses the Confetti stencil, bigger brother to the stamp released last year. Just to prove that stencils are just as useful as stamps, if not more so I made this.



On a panel of white card, I attached the stencil with masking tape and using a small Versamark pad, I inked through it, then after carefully removing the stencil heat embossed the card with white EP.
Using diluted DI in a rainbow of colours, I washed in the rainbow effect. When completely dry I die cut a rectangle from the panel and buffed up the surface with a dry babywipe.
I didn't want to detract from the panel so added some white die cut balloons and another sentiment form Simply Said blocks II, I can see this getting a lot of use, this time heat embossed in silver. I used the layout from the girls at Less is More to place them.
So that's it from me for the moment, back tomorrow with more inspiration.

There's even more  inspiration from the rest of the team.
