Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! Today, I have a couple of clean-and-simple cards to share with you that I created using the stamping with stencils technique.
I am sharing these projects for Stencil Sunday feature post at STAMPlorations Blog.
On this first card, I use the Leaf Prints mini stencil, Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies, Dragonfly Layering Dies, and Faith Expressions.
For the background, I added the Distress Oxide ink on the craft mat, sprayed with water, and then I smooshed in the watercolor paper. I dried it with craft heater.
Next, I added the same ink with blending brush, sprayed it with some water and then I flipped it on top of the watercolored paper. I added a piece of paper towel and gently pressed. I dried it with craft heater and then I cut the panel with the rectangle die. I added the first layer on a white card with permanent adhesive.
I stamped the sentiment on the middle panel with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad, and then I added it in the middle of the card with 3D foam tape. I cut out a piece of black cardstock with the dragonfly layering dies and I added it on the card with permanent glue.
On my second card, I use the Make Marks 5 stencil, Thank You Coffee, and Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies.
I use the same technique to create that background using stencil, Distress Oxide inks, and water. I picked rainbow colors for the background.
I stamped the coffee cup image with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad with Mini MISTI on a white cardstock. I dried the stamped image and then I fussy cut it with micro-tip scissors. I added it on the card with 3D foam tape. Then I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Clair ink pad.
Stamping with stencils is one of the fun ways to create background and texture with stencil. I hope these cards inspired you all to get creative with stencils.
