Simon Says - Stencil Fun

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

It's the first challenge of the month when the team feature products from one particular brand/company and this month we are all using fabulous products from Brutus Monroe. You don't have to use their products to join in the challenge but if you have them in your stash, we would love to see how you use them.

We are also welcoming the lovely talented Estelle Palumbo as our Designer In The Spotlight, please pop by her blog, if you haven't visited before, you will be in for a real treat.

The theme for this week is...

STENCIL FUN

I created a trio of cards using Brutus Monroe Spring Splatter 6" x 6" patterned papers and Vellum, Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Mini Layering Stencils from Sets 10, 39 and 57 and Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault Edges, Alphanumeric Tiny Type Upper and Brushstroke Butterflies Thinlits.

I trimmed the Brutus Monroe Spring Splatter patterned papers to create 4" x 5.1/4" panels.

I applied Wild Honey and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide inks through the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Berry Leaves and Sticks Mini Layering Stencils from Set 57 using Tiny Blending Tools.

I applied Distress Grit Paste through the Gradient Dot Mini Layering Stencil from Set 39.

I applied Black Opaque Texture Paste through the Wildflower Mini Layering Stencil from Set 10.

I die-cut strips of Brutus Monroe Vellum using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault Edges Thinlits, folded the strips  over the edges of the panels and fixed to the back with double sided tape. I die-cut the Vault Edges letters from Distress Watercolor card and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium. I applied Sizzix Adhesive Sheet to Distress Black heavyStock, die-cut the Alphanumeric Tiny Type Upper Thinlits and fixed to the vellum strips.

I die-cut Tim Holtz/Sizzix Brushstroke Butterflies from the Spring Splatter papers, Distress Watercolor card and Distress Black Heavystock, assembled, fixed in place with dots of Distress Collage Medium on the body section only and pulled up the wings to create dimension.

I added Simon Says Black Pawsitively Dazzling Gems, matted the panels on to Distress Black HeavyStock trimmed 1/8" larger and fixed to the top-folding white A2 card blanks.
