Hi All
I know I have gone a bit stencil mad this week!!
This time I used a new to me technique that I picked up from this tutorial by Loll-it is using brushos with stencils. Her advice was so easy to follow I actually did the stencil in less than 5 mins...my kind of crafting! I obviously had to wait until it dried and then design the rest of the card but I am definitely going to do this again.
I used another of Funky Fossil Design stencils and lemon brusho.
I cut off the edge of the heart for more interest using a stitched die and added this Concord and 9th sentiment-stamped in 'Juniper Mist' Catherine Pooler Ink-which is a lovely navy.
I made this for the 8th Birthday of Less is More-Yellow and Navy-I have actually been thinking of ideas for this for 2 weeks as I knew I wanted to use a navy base but only got the idea after seeing the challenge and CAS Stencil-to use powered inks-mine being brushos (I can't believe I entered a stencil challenge!!)
I am also going to enter this into the (Pin)spirational Challenge-the flowers-like in my stencil-and the little yellow love heart sweets are an inspiration!
This was a fun card to make!
Enjoy Friday x
Your card is beautiful Sandie!! Great work! You have mastered this technique the first try. Your yellow heart is so pretty and unique. Perfect sentiment to go with it and I love the deep navy card base for contrast. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Stencil! xx
ReplyDeleteLove this Sandy!
ReplyDeleteSuper colour and a beautiful stencil! With the brusho it looks so vibrant! Hugs, Gerrina

ReplyDeleteBeautiful yummy yellow Brushos heart stenciled image, Sandie. I love your CAS design and navy and yellow color combo. TFS and joining us at CAS Stencil Card Challenge. So pleased we inspired you to make a stencil card:-) Hope you play again soon. Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with going stencil mad Sandie and this card is a glorious example of stenciling! What a beautiful design and I can't believe how you controlled the brusho so well without getting loads of splatters and seepage - it is gorgeous! Stunning work. Thank you so much for sharing it with us at Less is More xx
ReplyDeleteLoving this, Sandie. The pretty heart looks beautiful in the sunny yellow shade. If find myself reaching more and more for my stencils, they are so versatile. I've used this technique but thanks for linking up the video, love the tip about raising the card up on a block, will definitely do this next time.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
WOW....this is amazing! Love that beautiful yellow.
ReplyDeleteLovely stenciling Sandie! The yellow is so happy and makes me think that spring may actually be coming even though we are completely snowed in right now!
ReplyDeleteHm, I have to look this tutorial up. I don’t find brushos especially easy to use, I never get those wow factor backgrounds I see around in blogland. So tips like this, for other uses, is very helpful.
ReplyDeleteFresh and lovely, Sandie ... I do love the organic look of that floral heart ... go you with the stencilling! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!Thanks so much for participating in our {PIN}SPIRATIONAL challenge. Hope you participate in our next challenge!! Have a happy crafty day!!!
