Stencil love - 3 cards

Hi... Hello..
Crafty friends...

I am Swapna from The Dream Pages, I hope you are playing along this month's challenge which is LAYERS

Hope you are enjoying our blog posts from all fellow DTs. This is my second detail post for this month for PABD and its mainly on STENCILS. Sometimes its tricky to add layers in CAS cards but its fun to challenge yourself to do so. When the post is about stencils then lets talk about these stencils a bit.

These are 8.5*8.5" stencils which allow you to cover larger area so these can be used to make 5*7" cards also and for Mixed media too.

Now coming to my projects

Card 1

I have a small, behind the screen story for this card.
To be frank I was not sure about this card. My fellow Dt Ria have designed this stamp and after July release she asked me 'Did you like Humming blooms' set n particularly bird images? I said liked but I might not do justice with birds so I will use only flourish from the set. Then I thought WHY NOT TRY birds. So decided to make this card.

* My first step was to keep the card base ready, so i took a black top folding card base. I secured the base to my work surface along with stencil. Applied texture paste concentrating towards centre portion of the base. Left it air dry.

* I stamped and coloured the small bird from the set on water colour paper and coloured in rainbow theme. Then fussy cut the image. I used wink of stella for blending colours and to add shimmer to the image

* Heat embossed the custom sentiment on black CS.

* Mounted bird and sentiment with foam tape.

Card 2

I will try my best to explain this card.

* I took 15*7" CS, scored at 5 and 10".

* Partial die cut on each flaps using the stitched oval dies.

* Placed the stencil on one flap and applied SSS lavender ink and on other flap I applied hero arts white pigment ink. While placing the stencil on other flap I made sure the design that the design continues.

* Cut white CS with second large and second small stitched oval die. Stamped image with same SSS ink. Coloured the image with colour pencils. Stamped sentiment with Versafine black onyx ink.

* Glued large oval inside card. Mounted small oval in the front.

Card 3

After doing 2 cards I was thinking to do one more card with our third stencil. Thought to keep it simple.

* Placed the stencil over a white CS. Used two distress inks to blend.

* Trimmed it 0.5 cm on all sides so that it can fit on the card base.

* Stamped the sentiment with black ink. Applied black wink-of-stella for shimmer and Glossy accent for gloss.

* Die cut a heart, applied wink of stella and glossy accent.

Thats it..

Hope you liked my work..

Night sky background - Two cards

Hi...

Here i am with two cards made in time of one , I used distress inks to make the background.
Then cut it into two panels.
 I stamped and fussy cut a branch and bird, then die cut a circle from one panel, sponged white pigment ink around the negative circle die cut to add halo around it. Then adhered the branch and bird on it. Heat embossed sentiment in black.
Mounted this panel on white card base with foam tape.

Here is the card

Second card is too simple. I just heat embossed sentiment and few stars in white. And then mounted the panel on white card base with foam tape (I had plan of adhering this flat but forgot, I should stop using foam tape for every card) .

Here is the card

Kraft + White pigment ink

Hi...

Off lately i have fallen love with white pigment ink on kraft card stock. It started with running short of white card bases n ended with these kraft cards.

I used Altenew Hennah element stamp set and Hero arts white unicorn ink for the card. I stamped elements on lower portion of the card base and then cut it out with SSS die. I adhered the big pieces on front of the card base with foam tape and stamped sentiment with same ink. I adhered the remaining stamped piece inside the card.

Its a top folding card

I am entering this card to Fusion card challenge

Kraft card stock + White pigment ink

Hi...

Here I am with simple and quick cards. I made these cards for Muse challenge .

The inspiration card so fun that I ended up doing two cards with same layout.
 For first card I used SSS stamp set. I stamped the half image with Khaki ink and the other half with white pigment ink. Stamped sentiment with memento ink.

I got inspired by the layout of the inspiration card. The inspiration card had pop of red colour so I used black to pop as my card base was kraft.
The white and khaki colours were subtle so to add another colour I stamped sentiment with black which could stand out yet is in harmony with other colours.

Made the other card with same design. I used clearly besotted stamp for this.

Thank you for stopping by,...
