Hi Artsy Friend,

It’s time to play along with Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge again. The May Challenge Theme is once again Anything Goes.      

No matter if your project is CAS, Mixed Media, Tag, Art Journal…, as long as it involves stencils, you’re welcomed to join. For Challenge Rules and other DT’s inspirations, please check out the Challenge Blog. The Theme has endless possibilities and I can’t wait to see what you will come up with. 

This month I challenged myself to revisit using diecut as stencil/mask technique. This is the Day 4’s homework of Altenew Academy Creative Masking Technique online class. I love rainbow color scheme. Hope this card is eye-pleasing to you. Thanks for stopping by and wish you a great day ahead.

 

Card Details

1. All dies and sentiment stamp are by Altenew.

2. Use a cover plate die to create a die cut.

2. Apply various Distress Inks over die cut (serving as a stencil) over a card stock. This is a 2-in-1 technique. The right is used for this card. The left is saved for future use.

3. Die cut sentiment three times and stack together. Die cut sentiment shadow. Mount the sentiment diecut to sentiment shadow. Heat emboss sentiment in white on a black card scrap.
