I hope you're enjoying your weekend.
I've got a little reminder for you of this months CAS Stencil challenge.
Robyn is hosting the challenge this month and she wants us to use ......... Sprays. Another fun way of using our stencils.
There's a couple of links on this month's challenge post to videos with some great tips for using this technique.
It's a great way of making backgrounds, like I've done here for my Oddball Turtle (I love this little guy!).
I used a simple brickwall stencil, and Distress Oxide Spray. I love the look of texture you can get from these sprays just by altering how you actually spray them ........ press the spray hard and you get lots of ink, and great coverage, half press the spray and you get a finer mist that creates this great look of texture .....
I die cut a circle from a piece of white card, off setting the die over the edge. I then placed the brick wall background behind, and attached it to the front of my cardblank.
I stamped the turtle onto a piece of white card, used ZIG Brush Markers to colour him, and then cut him out using the matching die ......
I doodled a few white dots onto his shell, and then attached him to my card using a wobbler. These little plastic springs add a bit of dimension to your die cuts and also give them a bit of movement when you touch them, they're great fun to use.
To finish off I added the sentiment which comes with the turtle ......
We've got a couple of Guest Designers on the challenge this month ....... Hilary and Amy are joining in the fun so please pop by and say hello.
