Thinking of you

Hello. Playing in a few challenges with this card today. Challenges listed below.  I started with the sketch over at FMS and added dies and stencils per the challenges below. 

I started with a panel of watercolor paper and painted on the blue background using Faber Castell gelatos.  Then I used some modeling paste with a brick stencil to create the section for the daisies.  They are a new to me die from Simon Says Stamp.  Sentiment and die are from My Favorite Things.

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the use the following graphic.

I used dimension, border and texture in my card this week. The border is done using a stencil and modeling paste to create the texture. The sentiment is popped up using foam tape for dimension. I did go over the modeling paste with distress inks after it had dried.

Stencilling

Hi everyone. Less is More and The Friday Mashup are hosting challenges that have to do with stencilling. Here is what I came up with!

The stencil is from Penny Black and I used pan pastels to color it in. Yellow and red are combined to get the bright orange color for the poppies.

Stitched border is done using a Lil Inker Designs die and the "hello" sentiment is from MFT. I die cut the stitches first then placed the stencil over the cardstock and went to town. This is a one layer card and has lots of white space.  This second one, is a bit different.

I used a Memory box die and created my own stencils with a bit of left over acetate. Then I got out some modeling paste and slopped it on some watercolor paper.  Once dried I added color using water color paints. I did stamp the sentiments from Simon Says Stamps prior to adding the blue. I love the texture on this one but it's not my favorite, so I created the top one while I was at it.

ETA: adding this into the AAA Cards challenge of paste and/or stencils.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by!
