AAA Birthday challenge - game #21 A stencil background

-

 

Hello everyone! And happy new year to all! Fingers crossed for a better 2021, right? 
Today we're kicking off the first challenge of 2021 over at AAA Birthday challenge blog, and the theme is - A stencil background. I don't think I have to tell you that I love stencils. In fact, it's probably my most favorite technique of all! There are som many different types of stencils. Different patterns, layering, masking, etc. They're low priced and so versatile! What's not to love?!

Since it's January I wanted to create a winter scene for my birthday card. And these My favorite things Snow buddies are just perfect for that.

For my background I used 3 different stencils. First I masked off the bottom with the Simon says stamp Waves and hills stencil (I cut mine apart for better usage). Then I blended the top of the background with Picked raspberry, Blueprint sketch and Black soot oxide inks. I'll be honest, this isn't my best blending but I wanted to avoid getting a blended purple in the middle. 
I let it dry and then laid over the My favorite things Ray of light stencil. I softly wiped over it with Spun suger oxide ink.

I used the SSS stencil and Spun sugar oxide ink to create a few snowbanks. I then dried the panel with my heat tool and applied some Ranger opaque white texture paste through That special taste of Snow is falling stencil and set it aside to dry. 

I popped up the images with craft foam and I had to remove a few of the snow dots. They peeled off easily. Of course I had to add a little sparkle and (although it's hard to see) I also added small dots of liquid applique to the dog. Maybe those girls aren't as sweet and innocent as they look...

I hope you're feeling inspired to create your own stencil background and join our challenge. 

Thanks for stopping by!
Stay safe and happy crafting!

    Hello friend!! I love the effect that was created from the thickness of the stencil (those light/faint lines of white). It almost looks like you folded the cardstock or had a dry embossed piece that you inked. So fun!!

Copic vedligeholdelse - hvordan & hvorfor

  Hej! Jeg laver ellers ikke blog på dansk, men men tænkte at der måske var nogle som kunne gøre brug af det.  Jeg har længe villet lave en blog post om Copic vedligeholdelse - også kendt som Copic spa day - og nu har jeg endelig fundet tid til det.  Det er en lang post, så hent en kop kaffe og sæt dig til rette.  For god ordens skyld gør jeg opmærksom på, at jeg viser min egen foretrukne metode og at alle holdninger er mine egne. Teksten må ikke kopieres eller gengives uden accept.  Først og fremmest - HVORFOR bør man bruge tid på at rengøre sine tuscher?  Du har endelig købt nogle tuscher, nogle ret dyre tuscher i min optik, og nu vil du bare farvelægge. Har jeg ret?  Rengøring af så mange tuscher tager lidt tid og jeg forstår fuldt ud, hvis nogle synes det er langsommeligt og spild af tid. Men hvad hvis jeg siger, at vedligeholdelse af dine Copic tuscher vil forlænge deres levetid og forbedre brugen af dem? Rengøring er essentielt for alle Copic-brugere, uanset hvor meget eller hvor

Masculine birthday card

Hey everyone, Today I'm sharing a masculine card. It seems to be something a lot of us strugle with, but since I had my oxide inks out (see post from yesterday) I ink blended one more panel using Faded jeans, Broken China and Cracked Pistacio. I just love this combo. I placed the panel in my Misti and prepped it with my antistatic powder tool before stamping the Simon Says Stamp Ornate background stamp. This is one of my all time favorite stamps and I keep going back to it. I often use my Versafine Onyx black and clear embossing powder, but for this I used Stampendous black embossing powder because it has a really gorgeous raised glossy look.  Just look at that shine! The TILLYKKE sentiment simply means congrats and is from Simple and Basic. I die cut it from black cardstock 4 times for dimension, and covered the top layer in WOW! embossing Vintage peacock glitter. TIP: The die does not come with a shadow, but i turned it upside down on a black

Pop-up how-to

  Hi friends, here's a how-to on my pop-up cards. Last summer I decided on finding a card design that was sort of interactive, yet not too dimensional, to make for the Danish Operation write home.  For those who don't know, the Operation write home delivers cards for military personnel to send home to their loved ones while deployed.  ~ My favorite things Mermazing, Elegant rectangle stax, Neat & Tangled Mermazing, Taylored Expressions Sweet scallop stencil The pop-up card design is not my original idea. It's been around for years, and I recall making one a looong time ago, but it was tedious and I didn't like the working process. But I recently saw Jennifer Mcquire make it this way, and I knew I had to give it a try. And once I'd made one they just flowed on out of my crafty quarters. They are really easy to make and add quite the dimension to the card. AND - they fold flat, which is absolutely perfect. ~ Whimsy stamps Whale of a time, Sunny Studios stamps Sea
