Stencil Week at Just Us Girls...

Hello and Welcome to Stencil Week at 

Just Us Girls 

Our Host is Sue going with Anything Goes.

There isn't too much evidence of stencil work here

but sometimes it is nice just to have a simple background

instead of  it being the feature as I have done here.

Once again I used a favourite AALL&Create stencil

for the background of my tag with a couple of Tim's distress inks

with a touch of gold shimmer and a few splatters 

on the cover plate.

Die cut another few old favourites as feature

adding a rounded ball of variegated cotton

also to the tag.

Finished with a simple sentiment.

Inked the edges and tag.

As this is Bonnie's last week with us as Guest

A huge thank you once more for sharing

your amazing talent with us. It has been

such a pleasure.

Head off and see Bonnie's last card for us

and it is spectacular!

The Team have also created such beautiful stencil art

so you won't want to miss checking them all out. 

Mine is a bit plain compared to them.

Then it is your turn to inspire us with yours inour Gallery.

Just Hello!

The Lovely Lisa is our Host this week at Just Us Girls

and it is our popular Anything Goes Stencil Challenge

I went with a CAS design here 

stencilling lightly with white texture paste

onto kraft card stock cut on an angle for interest.

The flower is die cut several times and

 layered for depth in white 

to match the background.

Added a textured die from Kaisercraft

behind the flower.

STAMPloration sentiment is torn 

and popped.

Head over and see what our Guest Kellianne

and the Talented Team chose to 

showcase their stencils.

As this is the last challenge of the month

I want to thank Kellianne for sharing her talents

with us this month as our Guest.

It's a Twofer Stencil-ing

It's Stencil Week at Just Us Girls 

and Hosting for the first time is our

Newest Designer Denise.

As you can see I have made two CAS cards

using the same AALL&Create Lotus Clusters stamp 

including the sentiment inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne

with the one on the left heat embossed clear.

Stencils are from STAMPlorations Foiled Again

BeeArty White Wash

and AALL&Create Moc-Croc

in Saltwater Taffy Ox ink and stain

with different backings.

Easy as to make two while I had the stamp set out

as I wasn't sure which stencils to use.

All the Design Team with our Guest Kerry

have created an abundance of creativity

using their stencils and now it's

your turn to share with us in the Gallery.

You could be our Winner of the Week

and go on to be a future Guest.

Stencil Week at Just Us Girls...

It's our popular Stencil Week at 

Just Us Girls

and Vicki is Hosting with Anything Goes.

Here is what I created!

The background is from some soft toned DP and

embossed with Distress Crackle Paste.

I found this piece lying on a table - 

must have started it and got sidetracked!

An easy finish by adding some die cut flowers

from Simply Dies - Tall Flower.

The main flower cut from another

Designer Paper Pad and cut so as the vase was

a different colour. The background flowers

were inked with DO to blend.

Added some mesh to ground the vase

finishing with a small talk sentiment.

Head over and check out Rosemary's last card

as our Guest and a Big Thank You for sharing

her talents with us this month.

Also the Design Team were busy creating

for your pleasure and now we invite you to

join in with yours to our Gallery.

Stencil Week at Just Us Girls

The Lovely Lisa is Host this week at

Just Us Girls and it is our popular

Anything Goes Stencil Week.

Those that know me are aware that I 

LOVE adding a thick coat of texture paste

to a lot of my stencil cards.

I have done so here but unfortunately

it doesn't show up enough here

but you will get the idea when you see 

colour seep through a

favourite of mine -  

 STAMPlorations Happy Flowers

My background is from my bits box

using Lindy's Magical's and 

Tim's Distress Inks.

Not forgetting my 'splatters'

I reently was gifted some lovely Poppy Stamps dies

from a crafty friend - thank you lots L

The sentiment is their Moonlight Script Hugs

which worked perfectly with the solid backing

to sit over the raised stencil.

Finished by corner rounding two sides

and adhered to brown card base.

Check out the stencil work from our Guest MillaChallenge

and my Talented Team Mates

and head into your craft space and 

add yours to our Gallery.

As luck would have it I checked out the

Poppy Stamps Blog and my card works perfectly

for their current challenge - 

Stencils or Patterned Paper

So there you have it - 

Happy to add super new dies to my collection

and enter one in the above challenge.

Thinking of You...

It's Stencil Week at Just Us Girls

and I am Host.

While on holiday recently I bought some

Cosmic Shimmer Razzmatazz Lustre Polish

and was eager to try it out with

 my ARTplorations Onion in Raw stencil.

Inked and heat embossed one of Tim's Abstract Florals

and fussy cut and adhered another head

 and two leaves from some DP.

The sentiment is from that set and tore the edges

 adding another piece to the back.

Included some black thread for interest.

Attached to black card base.

Our Guest Denise and The Team have created their 

stencil cards for your inspiration so head off and create yours

and add to our Gallery.

'JOY '

 It's our Last Challenge of the Year at  Just Us Girls

as we take a break (and be back in the New Year)

after we refuel and spend time with Family and Friends

Sue is Host for our Stencil Challenge

I just had to get out my favourite Deer Stencil

from ARTplorations filling him and background up with

a good helping of texture paste mixed quickly with

Lindy's Jolly Roger Red before it dried up from the heat.

I did ink around him before that then added

 darker tones and more Lindy's.

Added tiny splatters for interest.

The 'joy' die is Tim's and die cut several times for depth

and I didn't lose the tiny dots.

Added a pearl for his eye.

Corner rounded one end and

attached to white card base.

Check out what our Guest Leslie created

for her last showing and the Team have also been

busy with a variety of stencil pieces to inspire you.

Hope you have been able to spend a bit of time 

with your stencils and share with us in our Gallery.

Thank you so much for all your comments

 and support over the year.

I look forward to creating for you again in the New Year.

A Merry Christmas to my Team Mates and to you all.

Life is Good!

I'm Host this week at Just Us Girls

for our Stencil Challenge.

I had made this card weeks ago but was unhappy with the

main element I had added so it sat around and in two minds

whether to just throw it out or find something else

which I did. Still not completely happy

 I decided to go with it.

The stencilled background is 

 again that sand texture paste

using distress ink for colour once it was dry.

Added some roughly broken up bark

and tiny art stones.

I removed what I had adhered earlier,

 replaced with stamped die cuts popped

and some tied twine.

The big multi cut sentiment is inked with the same colour

as the stencil work from CUTplorations.

As this is Gerda's last week with us - 

a Big Thank You for sharing your talent with us.

Check out Gerda's last card and

the creative stencil work from my Team Mates.

This is always a popular challenge so 

I am looking forward to checking our Gallery out.

See you there.

Hugs...

 It's our Ever So Popular Stencil Week at 

Just Us Girls and the Lovely Lisa is our Host.

I went all out colourful with this

fun funky CAS stencil card.

It started with the Retro Circle stencil

from ARTplorations in

Tim's Spiced Marmalade, Abandoned Coral

and Fossalized Amber.

Die cut Tim's Artzy Stems. 

The middle stem is inked/glazed

with the Abandoned Coral.

Sentiment is from Paper Smooches

inked and clear embossed.

Love the fonts on that set.

This one matches the funky look.

Our Guest Jaydee and The Team have been

happily stencilling so go check them out.

Again I know the Gallery will be overflowing

with an array in every style of stencils.

A Simple HELLO!

It's Stencil Week at Just Us Girls 

I made this background some time ago.

While I had this AALL&Create stencil inked

with LIndy's Magical's

I reversed it and used the remaining ink to

create the background.

Added some die cuts in bold bright colours,

some torn washi tape and a simple

STAMPlorations sentiment to complete.

Head over and see the last fabulous wow cards from

our August Guest Julie

and Talented Team.

then add yours to our Gallery.

I BIG THANK YOU Julie for

For Someone Special!

It's our ever popular Stencil Week at 

 Just Us Girls and our Host is Bobby

 

I recently bought some new texture paste

and anxious to try it out. After I created my background with

yes Gecko Green Magical's

I got out my ARTplorations Bloom Factory stencil

and covered it with a good coating of paste.

I love the raised effect.

I then heat embossed the matching BF flower from the

STAMPlorations stamp set with Zing Aqua,

curled it and added some matching flower soft.

Sentiment is from STAMPlorations Fluttery

on to a MF die. Corner rounded

and attached to white card base.

which comes out with the most 'magical' colours.

The purple one on the right is AALL&Create

Simple Stencil-ing and Stamping Two-fer

 I'm Host this week at Just Us Girls for our

Ever So popular Stencil Challenge.

Stencilling is from AALL&Create Geometric Grid

Sentiments are both from their stamp sets.

Our Guest Wanda and the Design Team have gone all out

with great creativity with their stencils -

me I just enjoyed some simple playtime.

Thanks for visiting

Shine Brightly!

It's Stencil Time over at  Just Us Girls

and Vicki is our Host.

I started my background with

some Lindy's Magical's as I often do, adding some very fine gold shimmer.

Applying my  Peeking Dahlia's Stencil from ARTplorations

loading it up with Distress Grit Paste which gave it that rough look

then added  Art Alchemy Rust Brown Matte Wax

with my finger adding extra to the centre of the flower.

Tore around the edges and corner rounded.

Sentiment is from Tim's Small Talk.

Popped onto white card base to complete.

It's a little different look with the grit paste -

one I was happy with the result. What are your thoughts?

Head over and check out the stencil work from 

our Guest Jeanne and the Team.

Look forward to seeing yours in our Gallery.
