Simon Says - Stencil It

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...

STENCIL IT

I used Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Flourish, Script and Markings Mini Layering Stencils to create the backgrounds on my cards and decorated with Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Photographic and Palette Collage Papers, Transparent Layers and Quote Chip Labels.

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to create 2 - 4" x 5.1/4" panels, spritzed Rusty Hinge Distress Spray Stain and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Spray through Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Flourish Stencil on to the panel on the right. I spritzed the back of the stencil and pressed on to the second panel which creates a monoprint effect.

I inked the script background from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Entomology with Black Soot Distress Archival and holding the stamp in my hands, stamped randomly on to both panels.

I applied Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink through the Markings Mini Layering Stencil from Set 53.

I applied Distress Translucent Crackle Paste through the Script Layering Stencil, sprinkled with Walnut Stain Distress Embossing Powder and heat set when the paste had dried.

I added torn strips of Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Photographic and Palette Collage Papers, fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium using a Collage Brush.

To finish I added Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Quote Chip Labels, number strips fromTransparent Layers, matted the panels on to A2 Idea-ology Black KraftStock panels and fixed to 5" x 6.1/4" white card blanks.

I am completely addicted to both these new Collage Papers and I know I'm going to have to stock up.
