Keeping with the green theme of St. Patricks I thought I would post a few cards I made with a stencil from STAMPplorations designed by Sherry Russ. The top one is done with distress inks and the hello is stamped. The second one is done with pearlescent embossing paste mixed on a craft mat with a bit of distress ink. I've been wanting to try this for a while and finally played. Loved the results, click on the image and you will really be able to see the shimmer! This one has a die cut one it due to the dimension of the embossing paste.
Have a wonderful and hopefully creative weekend!
A few fun challenges:
ColorQ #333 (see top card)

The shimmer is quite visible and very sweet to the eye. Thank you so much for entering your creative and beautiful art in our AG FF challenge.

Gorgeous cards and stencilling Donna..Loz
ReplyDeleteI really like the one with the embossing paste - it adds so much more texture and dimension to the card.
ReplyDeleteSimple yet stunning! Fabulous makes, Donna!
ReplyDeleteLove this stencil, and even more, love the 2 striking cards you've made with it. How clever to change the direction, and make a 2-fer, and change it up a mite. Very effective, and very pretty cards. TFS & Have a wonderful week
ReplyDeleteLove both of your stenciled cards, Donna, both are equally nice! So glad to see you playing at the colourQ.
ReplyDeleteFun cards! I like that cute kitty and the leaves pattern. Thanks for sharing with us at Inkspirational!
