Stencil Sunday at STAMPlorations (Part 1)


Hello crafty peeps and welcome. I'm excited to be joining in
the reboot of the STAMPlorations Stencil Sunday feature! Shery has
restarted this post to showcase all the fun ways you can
create with the ARTplorations stencils and masks! You'll be seeing
this feature every 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sunday each month.
Today is my turn up at bat, and I have a card and an art journal page to share.
Grab your favorite beverage, this is a photo heavy post. LOL!

First is my card. I started by sponging various inks using the
Faces: Grace stencil:



(Late in the day isn't a good time to take photos. LOL!)

Using some scrap paper I created some masks of the hat and shoulders
and sponged a light blue ink through them.


I put the Clustered Hearts stencil under the masks and sponged a
darker blue ink through them.


After coloring in the background with a yellow marker, I sponged a
darker yellow ink around the image using the Dream Flower stencil. I
stamped the sentiment from the Just Because stamp set. I glued a gold
sequin as her earring because a lady needs a bit of bling, doesn't she?!!
Here's my finished card:


For my second project, I created an art journal page. I prepped the page
with a coat of Gesso and once dry I applied embossing paste through the
Faces: Grace stencil. Remember, you can flip the stencil over for a 
mirrored look, which means yet another way to use the stencil!


I randomly added some paints to the page:


Once dry, I stamped a few images from both the


Finger painted a light coating of Gesso randomly.


I decided that I wanted the colors to show on her face so I painted
another light layer of the colors randomly over the page.



Using both the Clustered Hearts and Dream Flower stencils, I sponged
the same paints around the page.


I put the Faces: Grace stencil back over the embossed image, and
with my finger applied some Gold Rush Metallic Lustre over it.


Once it dried and I buffed it to show the shine, I cut a scrap of paper
to cover it and splattered watered down paint over my page.


I used sentiments from the Bold Sentiments: Hashtag Authentic stamp set
and stamped, incorporating second and third generation stamping around
the initial stamped sentiment. Here's what my
finished page looks like:


Congratulations for making it to the end of this photo heavy post! LOL!

adding pinterest script 3. Changing the Position of the Pin it! button The cool thing about this code is that you have some freedom over where the Pinterest button for Blogger will go over the image. Take a look at the code that you just copied and pasted into the HTML for the word 'center'.
