PROJECTS
This first project uses the new stencil called Sunburst Stencil along with 2 new ink sprays, Lagoon and Cosmic Berrry.....
I kept this so basic because I wanted that stencil to shine on its own. I cut down a card front to 4"x 5 1/4" and laid it onto a card board box I keep in my craft room. Using a card board box is the best, least messy way to use ink sprays or adhesive sprays or even glitter sprays. Keeps it all in the box. I sprayed Lagoon and the Cosmic Berry for a fun mix of both color. After it was dry, I added the card front to the card base with fun foam for some dimension. I added in Altenew's hello die with fun foam and a top layer of silver card stock. Love that shine. I added in some sequins and called it good!
This next card uses the new stencil called Wavy Grid. I stated to spray this one and then realized I need a nice even rainbow look and then....hold on to something or at least sit down.....I colored in every square with a Prisma Colored Pencil. WHAT?! I know, right? It was a tad bit of work for this faster crafter but I do love the outcome...
I added just a little shading to the left side of each box and then went back in with OMS to blend it out. It was so easy to do and rather quick because of the stencil walls. I added this white card stock thank you. on top of a black fun foam thank you for some dimension and a shadow effect. I finished off the card wit some dew drops.

ReplyDeleteI like both of these stenciled backgrounds!
ReplyDeleteBoth Stunning! Simple but elegant.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I love the Sunburst stencil sprayed with 2 very different colors. Nice affect! I think the Wavy Grid was totally worth the time to color it in! Sometimes you just get in the groove and the time goes by fast. You achieved a lovely result!
ReplyDeleteThese are great cards! The first is lovely with that stenciling paired with the metallic-looking sentiment and your second one is so bright and cheery!
ReplyDeleteLove these stencils! That first card is just so stunning with all the silver and the sparkle!
ReplyDeletetwo stunning cards. Love the beautiful silver embossing with the stencil
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautifully simple
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing these dazzling cards!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so when I saw your first card, I thought for sure that it was a silver glitter paste that you had used through the sunburst stencil. I thought I had read wrong when you said it was Cosmic Berry and Lagoon, because it was reading so silver to me in your photo. It's still kind of messing with my mind, which just makes me love the card that much more. Thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteLove these cards, especially the first one. Like the previous comment, I also thought you used silver in some way. In any case, it is absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful cards! Love the stencils!!
ReplyDeleteWow I love these stencils especially the clear ones. Great job you are talented. You are such an inspiration, thank you so much! I am new to the arts and crafts scene, luckily I have a fantastic best friend that came along to teach me about doing crafts, making art, and helping me to find inspiration. By the way, Merry Christmas and I hope everyone has a good holiday!!
ReplyDeleteLove the use of the stencils. I really like the backgrounds!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, vibrant & fun, you seem to have had lots of fun making these.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. All these new stencils are wonderful -- I think my favorite is the Sunburst and that card is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThese stunning backgrounds are perfectly paired with the simple sentiments. Love the palette on the first card.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards that are simple but so vibrant and cheery! I'm impressed that you coloured everything in with colour pencils!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya on the messy crafting but sometimes it's just worth it and both cards qualify for that lol. Both are awesome but that first one is GORGEOUS with the shine and sparkle, I love it! Thanks for getting messy and passing on some great inspiration.
