This week's new CASology challenge is STENCIL and its a fun one to play along with because there are SO many stencil options around now. Check out the wide variety of stencils available at this week's sponsor STAMPlorations.
For my card I used the STAMPlorations Happy Flowers stencil with embossing paste. I mixed Wendy Vecchi translucent embossing paste with Sparkle N Sprinkle Microfine Glitter in Teal Velveteen and Blue Raven Opaque Glitter (two separate batches). I used an art spatula to put the teal glitter paste on the flower portions of the stencil and the blue Raven on the stem parts. The result is a beautiful textured glitter and was super easy to create. The open areas of this particular stencil kept the design CAS.
Hardest part was waiting for it to dry thoroughly before adding to my card base with the embossed sentiment banner. Don't let texture paste intimidate you. Mixing it with embossing powders or glitters as well as ink refills opens up a variety of color choices for your stencils.
Check out the DT's takes on STENCIL. Look forward to seeing your creations!
