It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Stencil it".
Stencils are one of my favorite tools, so I used 3 of my favorite stencils for this card. I started with the Schoolhouse stencil and Distress Paint Black Soot. Then my second favorite stencil is Tiles. I used this one with Texture Paste. When it was dry I applied a layer of Opal Magic Rose-Gold with a silicone brush. Love the way that looks and make the black turn into gold.
With Infusions (Sunset Beach, Lemoncello and Are You Cerise) I added some color. The effect that Infusions gives with Opal Magic Paint is really cool. But I wanted to add some more contrast so I used Black Knight Infusions for that. That also immediately gives it a more dramatic look. The black letters of the Schoolhouse stencil had disappeared a bit in the background and therefore it was a fun idea to use the smaller size of Schoolhouse stencil with also Distress Paint Black Soot and also in the same spot.

Beautiful card Sandra and as always, your backgrounds are just stunning...it's a shame to cover them they are so gorgeous but the paper dolls are just the perfect focal point! Hugs :)
Oh well! Look at those amazing colors! I totally love them mixed together and love the effect you got on the edges, so ombre! Love the tiny alpha stencil and have never tried to use the stencil with just paint! Need to try, you always teach me something new and cool! Hugs, Macarena
