Stencils Are Our Game!

 

I pulled out these stamps/stencils/dies from Kristina Werner's line (Long Line Roses) at Concord & 9th. I love that I could completely color these florals using only stencils with dye inks and brushes! There is also a subtle diamond mesh stenciling on the background. I'm entering this into the "Crazy is our fame - STENCILS are our game!" challenge. I chose not to include the optional theme of butterflies. My card measures 5"x 6.5".

STAMPS: Long Line Roses (Kristina Werner for Concord & 9th); Script Sentiments (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Limeade Ice, New Leaf, Lemon Tart, Bright Buttercup, Summer Sunrise (Papertrey Ink); Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Stampers Select White, True Black, Lemon Tart (PTI).

DIES: Long Line Roses (Concord & 9th); Script Sentiments (Creative Worship Stamps); Pierced Feature Frames (Papertrey Ink).

Word Art Wednesday

 

Welcome to another Word Art Wednesday challenge. I chose to use one of many acrylic scripture stamps in my stash from Papertrey Ink which rarely get inked up. It's been weeks since I've made a card due to ongoing hospitalization of my husband and then his eventual passing on May 18. The verse is from Romans 15:13 and focuses on the hope we can have when we trust in God. 

 

STAMPS: Reflections: July (Papertrey Ink).

INK: New Leaf, Ocean Tides, Pinefeather, Lovely Lady, Berry Sorbet, Bright Buttercup, Raspberry Fizz (Papertrey Ink); Versafine Clair Nocturne pigment ink.

PAPER: Vintage Cream (Papertrey Ink).

DIES: Into the Blooms: Roses, Reflections: July (Papertrey Ink); Crimped Slimline die (The Greetery).

OTHER: Clear enamel dots (Waffle Flower).

 

I die cut all the roses and leaves from Vintage Cream paper then color blended with brushes using dye inks. I splattered leaves with Pinefeather ink and the roses with Razzberry Fizz ink.  

 

Here's hoping you can join us in this challenge. Happy stamping!  ~Wanda 

 

 

CAS on Friday

 

Had a bit of free time between packing for vacation so played along with the CAS on Friday challenge which is asking us to feature birds. I started with this leftover color blended panel and stamped the bird collage stamp using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. I used a stitched rectangle die and popped it with foam tape over a stenciled base with yellow thread accent.       

STAMPS: Finch Collage, Spring Collage Tag (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed distress inks; Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Stampers Select White (Papertrey Ink).

DIES: Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics (My Favorite Things).

OTHER: Diamond Mesh stencil (Creative Worship Stamps).

 

 That's all for now! Thanks for stopping by.  ~Wanda

 

 

CWS Masculine Card

 

I was inspired by the masculine card blog hop that the Creative Worship Stamps team posted today and decided to play along. I went with a blue/brown color palette which seems to be a masculine option IMO. I blended some Classic Kraft ink around all the edges and splattered some Stormy Sky distress ink onto the background. After clear embossing over Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, I used an aqua painter brush to color the butterfly with Stormy Sky and Brushed Corduroy distress inks.

STAMPS: Spring Collage Tag, Made New (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne; Stormy Sky, Brushed Corduroy distress inks; Classic Kraft (Papertrey Ink). 

PAPER: Rustic Cream, Classic Kraft, True Black (PTI). 

DIES: Spring Collage Tag, Made New (Creative Worship Stamps); Pierced Feature Frames, Love to Layer: Torn Edges (Papertrey Ink).

OTHER: Blue metallic brads; Clear embossing powder; Jute twine; Button.

Chevy Birthday

 

Needed another masculine birthday card for a car lover, so out came the Spellbinders stamps/dies for another Chevy creation. It also fits for the masculine theme happening at The Paper Players challenge (oops...I missed the deadline) and it fits for the Festive Friday challenge (stencils, gears, vehicles). I had to go with a 5"x7" card size to be able to fit all the elements onto the front.

The car takes a awhile to assemble so this entire card was labor intensive! I love the gear stencil with Weathervane ink for the background.  

STAMPS: Cruisin' By Sentiments (Spellbinders).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne; Weathervane (Papertrey Ink).

PAPER: Stampers Select White, Soft Stone, True Black, Pure Poppy, Weathervane (Papertrey Ink); Metallic silver; Aqua Sky (Concord & 9th); Pool (Foiled Fox).

DIES: Classic Car, Speedometer (Spellbinders); Slanted Shortcuts (Concord & 9th).

OTHER: Grunge Gears stencil (Creative Worship Stamps).

That's all for now. Sun is out after a ferocious thunderstorm last PM! Enjoy your weekend!  ~Wanda

Word Art Wednesday

 

Welcome to another Word Art Wednesday! We are nearing Father's Day and this verse references "mighty men". I computer printed the verse at 50% size onto some patterned paper. I die cut the background using a torn edge die then sponged the edges with Enchanted Evening ink. I stenciled with the burlap stencil using Broken China distress ink. All the images were from Tim Holtz' The Journey stamp set. It included 2 arrow stamps which fit the verse perfectly.

STAMPS: The Journey (Tim Holtz Visual Artistry Collection).

INK: Broken China distress (Ranger); Enchanted Evening (PTI).

PAPER: Vintage Shabby 12x12 pad (Tim Holtz idea-ology); Stampers Select White (PTI).

DIES: Love to Layer: Torn Edges (Papertrey Ink).

OTHER: Burlap stencil (Tim Holtz). 

 

 

 

We hope you will be able to play along with us. Remember, we always have a sponsor with every challenge who offers a gift to some lucky participant! Thanks for stopping by!  ~Wanda
