Colorful Floral Lace

Hello friends,

I've been playing with stencils again. But this time, with my favourite Newton's Nook stencil, inspired by the vibrant colors in the graphic below.

Products used:

#newtonsnook (stencil), #catherinepoolerinks, #stampendous retd.(sentiment) & bling

The stencil was inked, inspired by the colours in the graphic below and with a lot of masking involved in the process. To make this A6 card, the panel was cut in half, adhered to either end of the card base, then the stamped sentiment strip was added in the centre, and finished with bling.  

Challenges entered:

#paperfunday - anything goes

#stencilfun - anything w/ stencils

#wordpower - sentiment in focus

#wordartwednesday - anything goes

#ssswednesday - feminine

Have a great day.

Peony Fantasy Postage Collage

Hello friends,

I'm thoroughly enjoying myself with layering stencils and recently inked this Pinkfresh stencil. After inking the panel, I wished I'd bought the die as well. But, a few days later, I got a brainwave to use the postage collage instead, and I'm happy with the result.

Products used: 

#pinkfreshstudio (Peony Fantasy stencil), #catherinepoolerinks, #waffleflower (Postage collage die & stamps) & #uniko (sentiment). 

The layering stencils were inked, inspired by the colours in the graphic below, then die cut, adhered to a black card base, stamped and finished with a sentiment.  

Challenges entered:

#pinkfreshstudio - anything goes

#paperfunday - anything goes + die cut

#diecutdivas - birthday or anniversary w/ die cut

#NBUS - stencil & postage die w/ stencil

Have a lovely Sunday.

Tonic Studios - Aztec Allium

Hello friends,

Sharing this card I made for the IG Hop, 'Stencil Fun' with the optional theme 'New' this month. Although I've owned this die and stencil set for more than six years, this was my first time using it. As a matter of fact, both the product and approach were new to me.

Products used: 

#tonicstudios (die & stencil set), #catherinepoolerinks, #tsuknekobrillianceink (on the embossed areas), #pinkfreshstudio (sentiment &die), grunge designer paper from my stash &  #pink&main (glossy dots)

A panel of watercolor paper was die cut and ink blended. The stencil was used to dry emboss over a light box. Silver ink was gently rubbed over the embossed areas. The die-cut panel was then adhered to black cardstock and glued to the card base, covered with grunge designer paper. The sentiment was stamped on the designer paper, die cut and adhered in place. The card was finished off with glossy dots, two of which were carefully cut to fit the half flower centers.

Clematis Blooms

Hello friends,

Happy Easter!! Today I'm here to share a card I made for the CASE it hop on Instagram. My CASE was Sandi Maciver, inspired by the floral arrangement on a black embossed background. 

Products used: 

#bliss&brass (Clematis die), embossed background from my RAK, #justrite (sentiment die), colored cardstock, #catherinepoolerinks & #stampabilities (gold pigment ink)

The Clematis flowers and leaves were die cut from coloured cardstock, ink blended, then given dimension with the flower moulding tools. Gold ink was rubbed over the embossed damask panel for a subtle gold layer. The flowers were arranged and finished off with a die cut sentiment that was layered for dimension.
