Flowers Bloom!

I have moved on from Christmas card making

to join in at 2 sites.

The ARTplorations Stencil Blog Hop at STAMPlorations

is coming to a close.

 

 

So I thought I would play over there one more time

. You can find all the details Here
and Here

I do love playing around with stencils

as I have said before and had some time on my hands

so decided to get creative (sort of)

The other challenge I am playing in is

at CAS Mix Up Blog which includes

Stamping Sponging + Your Choice

Details are Here

 

 

 

My card includes sponging using the Faux Mother of Pearl

technique following Loll's  link Here stamping

 and texture pasting through a stencil.

 

(Showing the Mother of Pearl effect)

 

I started off with the M of P technique

using SU Champagne Mist on Glad Wrap.

I then inked up Tim Holtz Abandoned Coral/Peacock Feathers

and sponged my cs.

I blotted that with a baby wipe to lift some of the colour

and also flicked some water droplets.

My stencil stamping and sentiment are

from STAMPlorations -

Bloom Happy - Sentiment

Happy Flowers Stencil

Scribbly Splattery Grunge - Stamping

I used white texture paste on my stencil

and like how it got a softer look  after it dried.

Finishing my card with a sentiment to suit the stencil.

 

This will be my last posting before Christmas

so would like to wish you all a

Merry Christmas and Thank You for

all your kind comments throughout the year.
