Stencil It

Hello. Today I'm sharing a couple of cards I used stencils on for some challenges. As I mentioned in this post the other day, I belong to a Paper Arts Club that meets monthly. Not only do we swap cards based on a predetermined theme, we also do a challenge card. This month the challenge was hexagons.


Rather than go the obvious route of die cutting hexagons, I decided to stencil some. This was Mustard Seed and Wild Honey distress inks blended on Specialty Stamping Paper. I spritzed my Tim Holtz Honeycomb stencil with water, placed it on the inked paper and then took it off. I was left with this cool background where the water had reacted with the DI and left the random honeycomb pattern. Again, I  die cut the panel with SSS Stitched Rectangles. The sentiment is from winnie & walter's The Big, The Bold, The Happy set that was heat embossed in gold. The stars were also done in the same manner,

I will enter this into Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Stencil It, On A Stampage - Mynn's Birthday Bash Giveaway, Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes, as well as my Club challenge card.




     -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The same technique was used for my second card. I changed the inks to Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon. For this card I added a piece of stitched die cut gold paper behind the stenciled panel. I left this stencil on longer and it turned out much less random. 

I will also enter this into Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, , AAA Cards: Game 40 - For the Guys,  Craft Stamper Take It Make It May Challenge - Take a Stamp, Anything Goes and 613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes ( without optional twist).


Thanks for looking and hanging in so long. I love doing stenciling techniques and I'd love to know what you think. Comments just make every day better, don't they? Enjoy!
