Belated 7th Birthday Celebrations at STAMPlorations - Day 1

Hi Crafty Friends!

Welcome to Day 1 of STAMPlorations Belated 7th Birthday Celebrations. It's an opportunity to showcase some of their newer products too.

Today I am putting the focus on two of Sanna's new stencils Amaranth and Abstract April Showers. Have a look on how I used them ...

My first card combines the Amaranth stencil with the Confetti #1 Slimline stencil and the Joy stamp set for a slimline Christmas card.

My second card combines the Abstract April Showers stencil with the Rectangles Flexi-Template for the background.

I masked the frame off using one of the rectangles and sponged the raindrops in turquoise and grey before removing the stencil and mask.

I then masked off the stencilled raindrops using the Rectangles Flexi-Templates as shown and sponged the frame.

I finished off with a bit more stamping, sticker sentiment and a fuzzy cut Kathryn.
