Use a Stencil Card Challenge

 

elcome to the newest challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters challenge blog.  This challenge is to  use a stencil in your creation.  Be sure to join us at the challenge blog and show us your creations.

I started with DecoFoil gel over a hexagon patterned stencil.  I let the gel dry over night and then heated up my laminator to foil the background.  The results are pretty cool.

Next, I added mirrorcard die cuts in layers to create the flowers and leaves.  The little acrylic gems finish off the flower centers.  The Happy Birthday circle die cut will be available in my Etsy shop, PaperieByJennifer, very soon.

Here Comes the Bride

Welcome to the newest challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters challenge blog.  This challenge is to create a wedding card.

I blended specialty cardstock and die cuts to create this giftable card.  I used Tonic Studios glitter cardstock for the wedding bells and the sentiment is from one of their monthly craft kits.  I always like to convey best wishes to the couple as it is tradition to say congratulations only to the groom.  

I hope you will join us at The Sisterhood Challenges and we look forward to seeing your wedding creations.

For the Boys - Pearly Sparkles Challenge

The theme of my first challenge as a design team member at Pearly Sparkles Challenges is for The Boys/Men.  I chose a pirate ship die cut from black glitter cardstock for my main image.  I liked the look of the "shiplap" background even though the wood is vertical.

 

I inked the background using Stormy Sky and Frayed Burlap Oxide inks and these blending brushes.  I like using these brushes for all of my backgrounds.  I left the middle uncovered since I knew the die cut was going to cover it up.  Can't waste the precious ink!

I love how this turned out and it will be used as one of the three Father's Day cards I need to create.  Be sure to join us at Pearly Sparkles Challenges and show us your creation for the guys.
