Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge : Stencil It

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week the challenge is

Stencil It   

We are showcasing our very own Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a $50 gift Voucher  for the Simon Says Stamp Store  to one randomly selected winner !

Here is my card for the challenge inspiration.

I used Heart Mandala Stencil and Messages for Everyday Stamp Set from Simon Says Stamp today. 

Here are step by step instructions.

1) Trim a piece of Ivory card stock into A2 (4.25x5.5inch) size, then mask off the 4 edges using washi tapes.

2) Ink blend the panel with a dye ink Insulation Pink.

3) Place Heart Mandala Stencil on the panel, then ink blend the panel using 3-4 dye inks that you have in order of dark brown -light brown - light coral - coral. 

  ( I used Kraft, Safety Orange, Peach Bellini, and Coral Crush from My Favorite Things) 

4) Apply Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste using a Craft knife, then remove the stencil and cleanse it quickly.

5) After the paste is dried, splatter orange, yellow, and black inks over the panel.

6) Heat emboss a sentiment from Messages for Everyday Stamp Set in white, then foam mounted onto the panel using foam tapes

7) Embellish the card by adding Metallic Rose Gold Sequins, Metallic Bronze Sequins, and Sparkling Clear Mix Sequins.

8) Trim the edges of the panel a little , then adhere it onto A2 sized top folded cardbase made with gray colored Texture Cardstock.

I made another card with the same stenciled panel to use my scraps. 

Here, I adhered sentiment from Big Greetings 1, a leaf diecut from Leaf Border Frame Die, flowers from Cherry Blossoms, and leaves from Build A Flower Rose. Card base was made from Neenah Desert Storm. 

This second panel was actually supposed to be discarded as I oversplattered black inks, but in the next morning when I saw it again, I thought I would hide those black ink spots by covering them with sentiment and images. That's how it came out and I really love the final look :)

To finished off the card I added various sequins from Pretty Pink Posh : Spring Blossoms, Champagne, and Sparkling Celar. 

So now it's YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting !
