Christmas in July | Imagine Crafts and Stencil Girl.




Welcome to
Day three of the
StencilGirl Products & Imagine Christmas in July Blog Hop!
Team StencilGirl and Imagine Artists in Residence are getting creative with Imagine Products and StencilGirl Stencils!

Sit back and enjoy a fabulous range of projects!
We hope to inspire you!
For my card I used the beautiful Pine Cone stencil on my background using several inks for a fun look. I Misted through my stencil, then used the stencil to stamp a second card. Once the ink was dry I used a pine needle stamp and stamped some additional images, and added some pops of red berries.
  
step 1 - Use 2 different colors of Fireworks! sprays and mist through the Pinecone stencil.
 step 2 - While the stencil is still wet, carefully lift it up, flip it over and stamp with the stencil onto a second piece of cardstock.
 step 3 - Once the ink is dry, use a pine needle stamp and Spanish Moss Versafine ink pad and stamp additional images onto your card.
 step 4 - Add some color by making red berries using irRESISTible Pico embellisher. Leave to dry and then assemble your card.
Stamp Merry Christmas onto the front of the panel using Versafine.
And there you have 2 quick cards using one single stencil with two great effects.

  22. Love the soft and gentle look of this "second generation" stencil-stamping. I do this all the time with my watercolor backgrounds, but have never done it through a stencil. Lovely. Thanks for the inspiration!!
