Artful Flutters for STAMPlorations blog hop

Welcome to day 2 of the STAMPlorations Blog Hop. 

The card I'm showing today uses the same stencil as yesterday, Shower of Flutters but a different technique and colourway to produce a very different effect.

This time I inked the stencil with some DIs and spritzed some water over it, then used the stencil as a stamp. I love the way the water has a haphazard way of blending the ink. To finish the panel I splashed some of the left over watery ink onto the white portion.

I liked the finished panel but wanted to do something a little different so bit the bullet and die cut the tag from the panel and mounted it on a larger tag edged with a colour wash of DI. The thanks was stamped and embossed in silver, a few sequins were added and a butterfly that was left over from another project. Ribbon and twine from the stash. This just shows how versatile this stencil is as the card from yesterday's hop and this are so different but use the same stencil!

Stencil Hop at STAMPlorations

Good afternoon crafty friends

Today sees the start of a fantastic week of stencil goodness over at STAMPlorations.

After the success of the previous one we are having another blog hop and this is my card using one of the fab new stencils from Shery.

This one is made using Shower of Flutters combined with Trendy Butterflies Stamps and Noteworthy sentiments.

I started off by placing the stencil on a piece of white card and inking the background using DIs. While the mask was still in place I stamped some grasses 

Carefully removing the stencil I then stamped over the white shapes with the matching stamps in black then coloured the larger ones with Copics. The sentiment was then stamped in black and the edges of the panel inked in black before mounting up on pads over a 5x7 card base.
