Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge – 2023 July Anything Goes

It’s super easy and all you need is kick starting your creativity and share it with us. For Challenge Rules and other DTs’ inspiration artworks, please check out our Challenge Blog. Please join us for the fun. I can’t wait to see your beautiful artwork.

I’m happy to dig out two of my favorite old stencils as well as use some of my Never-Be-Used-Stuff. Hope my card is inspirational to you. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

The following are how I made this card.

Cards Details

1. Layer two stencils (The Crafters Workshop) together (one on top of the other) on a watercolor paper panel. Spray various Distress Spray Stains (Tim Holtz) over stencils and let dry.

2. Apply Glossy Black Embossing Paste (Dream Weaver) over sentiment stencil (Altenew) on the background panel and let dry.

3. Attach some Metallic Décor (Hero Arts) randomly on the background panel.

4. Woops, I just realized there was no stamping. Ha! So I quickly stamped a sentiment (Altenew) in black.

5. Mount the card panel to a black panel and then mount to a A2-sized white card. The black glossy sentiment really pops.
