ARTplorations Stencil Blog Hop Day 3


Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the ARTplorations Stencil Blog Hop. This is where we, the STAMPlorations Girls, put our stencils through their paces.

For today's project I worked with the Daisy Dance and the Shutters stencils. The Daisy Dance stencil coordinates perfectly with one of the daisies from the Bloom Sketches set, more about this later, firstly here is the card ...


First I used the Shutters stencil and sponged some Crushed Curry (yellow) all over, then I used the Daisy Dance stencil and sponged some Bermuda Bay (turquoise) all over before stamping my daisy from the Bloom Sketches set in Tangerine Tango (orange). The keen eyed of you may have spotted that my stamped daisies don't perfectly align with the stencil ... I did it on purpose as I wanted a very sketchy, slightly grungy look. The stencil fits the daisy perfectly, I simply flipped it over before stenciling to achieve my look. That's what I love about stencils, you immediately have a very usable mirror image. :-)

Next I stamped and embossed my sentiment from the SENTIMENT BUILDERS Happy on a strip of vellum, layered up as shown and attached some paper twine and charm to finish.

I am entering my card at:
Addicted to Stamps and More - Anything Goes, STAMPlorations are sponsoring
Allsorts - Birthday
Time Out - Grunge, STAMPlorations are sponsoring

Check out what the rest of the team made! You'll find links to all our projects here. Feel free to leave comments as you go along. Every comment will be entered into a prize draw. Commenting closes on 29th May and the winners will be announced on 1st June. Good Luck!

+ Extra prizes for those who participate in the Flash Stencil Project Linky Party and link up by May 31.

That's it from me for today. I shall be back again tomorrow with another stencil project.

Have a lovely day!
