CAS Stencil Challenge is celebrating its first birthday this month.
Congratulations to Loll and the wonderful Designers on the team!
The first challenge of this year is hosted by my dear friend, Nancy. She chose "Use a New Stencil" as the theme. It's perfect for the new year, isn't it?
Here's my card:
I've been enjoying Concord & 9th's turnabout stamps and stencils. I love their clever system. I bought this stencil (picture below) last year, but I haven't had a chance to use it. Thank you, Nancy, for hosting this fun challenge and encouraging me to use a new stencil!
[How I made the card]
1. Masked the sentiments before stenciling the center image because I didn't need the sentiments for the card.
2. Put the stencil on 6" x 6" white cardstock, and stenciled with Mermaid Lagoon. Turned the stencil clockwise 90 degrees, then inked with Peacock Feathers. Turned the stencil 90 degrees again, and stenciled with Wilted Violet. Turned the stencil again and inked with Blueprint Sketch.
3. Trimmed the stenciled piece to 4-1/2" x 4-1/2", and die-cut the frame with a Hemstitch Square die. 4. Stamped the sentiment in Navy Blue.
5. Glued the panel on to the Navy Blue card base.
I'm sharing my card at CAS Waterclour Challenge and STAMPlorations Stencil Challenge, too.
Thanks so much for visiting me today!
