Simon Says - Fun With Stencils

Hi Everyone...welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. Thank you for joining us for last week's challenge and we hope you can join us this week too because

and the theme for this week is...

FUN WITH STENCILS

I created a card using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Otis Colorize and Bold Text 2 Thinlits on the new Black Two-Tone Woodgrain card spritzed with Distress Halloween Mica Stains to add shimmer. I used the Starry and Dot Fade Mini Layering Stencils with Distress Translucent Grit Paste to add texture to the background.

I trimmed Black Two-Tone Woodgrain card to 4.3/4" x 6.3/4" and die-cut using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Bold Text Thinlits. I spritzed the card with Decayed and Harvest Moon Distress Mica Stains from the Halloween release, I applied Distress Translucent Grit Paste through the Starry Mini Layering Stencil from Set 31, sprinkled with Crackling Campfire and Wilted Violet Distress Embossing Enamels and heat set once the paste had dried. I repeated the process with the Mini Dot Fade Layering Stencil from Set 8 and heat embossed with Simon Says White Detail Embossing Powder.

I matted the card panel on to a 5" x 7" white card blank covered with Simon Says Black cardstock. I die-cut the Otis Colorize Thinlits from Idea-ology Classic KraftStock, assembled using the indent markings left by the dies and spritzed the top layer with Harvest Moon Distress Mica Stain before fixing in place with foam adhesive. I die-cut the stars from scraps of Distress Watercolor card spritzed with Harvest Moon and Burning Embers Distress Mica Stains and added my latest addiction, the gorgeous Idea-ology Halloween Droplets from the new release.
