Adventure Awaits Stencil card

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Use At Least One Stencil".

Stencil are one of my favorite tools. They are so versatile. For this card I started with the background as usual. I used Infusions Rusty Car, Distress Spray Stain Rusty Hinge, Speckled Egg, Distress Oxide Spray Speckled Egg and Infusions Sleight Blue for building up the colors. Such a fabulous color combo. Speckled Egg has been my absolute favorite Distress color ever since it came out.

 

After the colors were applied, it was time for some stamping action. I used Ledger Script, Dapper and Read to Me stamps with Archival Ink Jet Black. For the stencils I used Dot Fade and Stitches. I used Dot Fade with Distress Paint Speckled Egge and Crackling Campfire, and the Stitches stencil with Texture Paste mixed with Distress Paint Black Soot.

Be You Art Journal Spread

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Art Journal".

It's been a while since I made an art journal spread. So fun to make one again. Although I always find larger surfaces more difficult to fill up. I wanted to use the combo Crackling Campfire with Salvaged Patina again, I really love those together. But first started building the background with different layers. As my first layer I used Collage Paper Entomology and on top of that I used all kinds of Washi Tape.

 

In two of the corners I used Texture Paste with Crate stencil. After the Texture Paste was dry, I applied White and Clear Gesso, and used some stamps. I started adding colors with Distress Spray Stain Crackling Campfire mixed with Perfect Pearls Heirloom Gold and Salvaged Patina with Mint. To make the colors a bit more intense I used Infusion Rusty Car and A Bit Jaded.
