The patterned paper around the edges is an old calendar by Accord Publishing. I can’t remember what the sentiment die was. The stencil is by… The glow n the dark paste is by Ranger Tim Holtz. 

Happy Halloween.

Best Wishes stenciling technique


I used a Momenta stencil and a Scrapbooking Made Simple leaf stencil with Distress Oxide inks. I inked the stencils in the normal way. Then I sprayed the leftover ink on the stencil with water and squished it over the top. 
I reused a floral image, except I added Perfect Pearls on the pedals. I found the sentiment in Cricut Design Space, and instead of cutting it out, I used my markers to write it out. Then I punched it out with a circle punch.

Thanks for looking.

Double stenciled backgrounds

This is a Tim Holtz tag that I did a stencil on a stencil technique. The twisted square stencil is by Momenta, and the dot stencil is by Gina Marie. I used Distress Oxides. The sentiment is by Sizzix. I stamped it with purple ink and clear heat embossed.

Then I created a small tag using a different stencil with the square stencil, but I didn't know how to finish it off, so maybe next time.

This last one uses two stencils and the same sentiment stamp.

Floral Friday Just for You card


The floral die cut is by Scrapbooking Made Simple. I cut it out of yellow cardstock. I made a background using red and olive distress ink on a white piece of cardstock. I was hoping that adding the ink would make the flower look better. Not so much. The sentiment is from my stash. I sprayed the entire card with water mixed in with perfect pearls. Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Floral Friday Roses Slimline cards


On this first card, I inked the stencil with pigment inks by Colorbox onto vellum with white stripes. Then I heat set it with clear embossing powder by Hero Arts. From there, I just cut it down, added mats behind it, added some rhinestones and then added a sentiment onto a red die cut.




This second card has the same background just on Sizzix gold opulent paper. 


You can see the heat embossing on this picture. Thanks for looking. HAGD!
