Hi

At Just Us Girls this week our challenge #741 is Anything Goes with a Stencil. I got this stencil at the beginning of summer and was waiting for it to fit the right challenge at the right time in my summer cardmaking. It gives off tropical vibes to me. Be sure to check out all of the team's and guest Bonnie's blogs to see how they made their cards! Links to their blogs are above their card photos on the Just Us Girls Challenge blog.

Products I used:

Hero Arts: Floral Trove stencil

Spellbinders: Stitched H and I dies

Ranger: Distrees Oxide ink pads - Abandoned Coral, Worn Lipstick, Dried marigold

Picket Fence: Bubble Blowout Embellishment mix

Ink blending brushes

Foam squares

First I cut a 6" x 6" white panel. I masked off each section of the stencil, one at a time, to be able to change and separate colors throughout the whole stencil. I die cut my letters in white and ink blended the shadow piece with Abandoned Coral ink to match the stenciling. I adhered the white letters to the shadow pieces and popped up the completed letters on my stenciled panel with foam squares. Last, I added the irridescent "bubbles."

We hope you will join our stencil challenge because anything goes if you use a stencil. Be sure we can see the stenciling and that you tell us how you used it. These are quicker cards to make than most! See you in our gallery?
