Introducing - Stencils, Flower Power #8, Rainbow & Clouds, Squared & Tropical Leaf I

Today sees the Uniko girls introduce the brand new stencils that Bev has designed. This first card uses the Rainbow and Clouds stencil.

I used the large rainbow from the stencil and using some masking paper, I blocked out each arch in turn so that I could use a different colour for each one. I used Distress Inks in, Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Twisted Citron , Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet to create the rainbow on a panel of white card. When the rainbow was finished, I added a sentiment from the Beautiful stamp set in Altenew's Pure Graphite, then used an MFT die to cut the scalloped edges.

On a scrap of white card, I traced 3 of the clouds and fussy cut them out. The left hand and smallest I popped up on pads, the other I glued flat over the rainbow. The finished panel was then popped up on pads over a white A6 base card.

My second card features the Squared stencil.

To start I stamped an A6 panel of card with Versamark and the BB Halftone a couple of times. When the stencil is inked with DI, the subtle stamping will show through.

After I was sure that the Versamark was completely dry, I inked through the stencil in Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean DI onto the stamped panel, adding extra squares where appropriate.

Using the HAPPY die from Big and Bold Happy stamp and die set, I cut into the panel, then again with some fun foam, stacked up the die cuts and replaced them into the opening to create this camouflage effect. The small bits from the A and Ps were added carefully too. The birthday from the same set was stamped on black and heat embossed with white EP, trimmed and added. The finished panel was trimmed down and added to a white linen effect base card. 

I'm playing with the same technique on this card. Instead of the BB Halftone stamp I used BB Scattered Polka Dots and the new Flower Power #8 stencil.

       

After stamping the BB in Versamark onto white card and leaving to dry, I added a soft covering of Picked Raspberry DI over the whole panel. I then placed the stencil so that half of the bloom filled one half of the card and inked using more Picked Raspberry and some Wilted Violet DI over the central area of the bloom. I repeated the stencilling at the other end of the panel, trimmed it down and added my sentiment, from my stash and a couple of strips of holographic card and some silver gems. The completed panel was then added to a white base card.

My final card features the Tropical Leaf stencil.

This has two parts to it, the stencil and the cut out mask.

For the background panel I got inky with my Gelli plate and both the stencil and mask and some green DIs and DOxs. 

I made lots of backgrounds whilst playing, more of them later, but I chose this one to sit behind a die cut frame onto which I added a fussy cut image of the mask, which I used to draw around. The sentiment is from the new Simply Said Blocks III stamped with Bundled Sage DOx.

So that's it for today, I'm sure you'll agree that these stencils are going to be a very useful addition to anyone's stash.

Check out what the rest of the team have been up to with these fab ne stencils and leave a comment for a chance to win some Uniko goodies.
