Hi there blog friends ~ It’s time for our May challenge at CAS Stencil! Our Guest Designer is the super talented Greta and our Hostess for this challenge is Hilary, who chose ‘Layered Stenciling’ for our prompt :)
I don’t layer my stencils very often, but when I do, I am reminded of the great impact this technique has on a card design.
I started by stenciling the vase in light blue, then placed the mesh stencil over it blending a darker shade of blue to create the pattern. I also created a mask with the MFT shadow die and inked in pale gray to create a base under the vase. I colored the flower and leaves with Copic markers and finished with a pearl gem on the bloom :)
Come on over to the CAS Stencil Challenge Blog ...Our Guest Designer Greta and my teamies have created some beautiful cards to inspire you...and don’t forget we always have links to a few video tutorials showcasing the technique for each challenge. The challenge closes on the 24th, so there's plenty of time to join us...I hope to see you there ~
Supplies:
Stamps: Altenew - Amazing You (flower); Avery Elle - Sentimental Swirls (sentiment)
Stencils: Altenew - Versatile Vases; Simon Says Stamp - Mesh
Inks: Altenew - Eastern Sky, Ultramarine
Misc: Stampin Up - Pearl Gem
