ARTplorations Stencil Blog Hop Day 1

http://stamplorations.blogspot.com/2016/04/artplorations-stencil-blog-hop-day-1.html

Hi All,

Welcome to Day 1 of the ARTplorations Stencils Blog Hop. This is where we, the STAMPlorations Girls, are putting stencils through their paces. Over on the STAMPlorations Blog you can see all the gorgeous projects from CAS to Mixed Media the team have created. Here is my DT project using ARTplorations Stencils: Delicate Links and a sentiment from SMILE ...


I sponged a piece of white card using Daffodil Delight ink, attached my Delicate Links stencil and partially sponged it with Melon Mambo ink.

At this point I started to think ahead ... I removed the stencil, spritzed some water on it and took a few prints which I used for a couple of other cards, one for tomorrows project and the other one for next week Tuesday's Inspiration post project. But now back to my card on today's post ...

I stamped my sentiment in black Archival ink, layered on my white base card and added some sequins to finish.

As with every Blog Hop, leave a comment on ideally all of the participating blogs for your chance to win one of the fabulous prizes on offer. Check out what the rest of the team made! You'll find links to all our projects here. Commenting closes on Sunday, 17th April and the winners will be announced on Tuesday, 19th April. Good Luck!

THREE (3) winners will receive their choice of ARTplorations stencil (standard size - 5x7). Winners will be randomly drawn from all comments left on the designers' blogs.
ONE (1) winner will receive a $15 gift certificate OR her choice of 2 ARTplorations stencils (standard size - 5x7). Winners will be randomly drawn from comments left on the STAMPlorations blog. 

Extra prizes for those who participate in the Flash Stencil Project Linky Party and link up by April 15:
