I have never used a stencil to make a card, but the new line of stencils from Simon Says stamp were very intriguing to me!! I opted to "get my feet wet" rather than "dive right in", so I purchased the Bold Flowers and Bold Flowers Outline stencils. I wasn't even sure what to do with them or really how to use them, these two cards are my first and second tries...FUN!!!! and EASY!!!!...and I LOVE how they turned out:)!!
I made this one first, combined with the Thanks on a Line die, but then thought that it would be nice to show you how I did it(AFTER I finished it)...so I made a second one...
Here's what I did...
Put the outline stencil on the paper
Sponged with yellow ink
Remove the stencil
Replace with the Bold Flowers stencil and adhered to keep it still with eclipse tape....fingers were cool until the black...
And sponge with black.
Remove the stencil and see the magic:)!!!! SO COOL!!! I cut down to 4 x 4 panel and put layered die cut sentiment on top.Thanks for visiting me today!!
Hugs!! Lisa

ReplyDeleteBold and fun!
Oh my goodness...... They are gorgeous and soooooo retro!!! I'm sure my mum had a dress in the orange and brown pattern combo :0) I just love how the 'thanks' finishes them off too.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for showing these stencils! Stencils perplex me - I want to like them and use them, but I don't "get" them. lol! This is an excellent tutorial. Thanks! (really I'm just looking for an excuse to buy them all. :))
ReplyDeleteAppreciate you showing us how you used those stencils. I have yet to "get my feet wet" but maybe soon now that I see how they can be used.
