Step by step 3D Stencils

I have been asked to do a step by step plan for using the Sheena Douglass stencils, so here goes.

Step one - tape down stencil no 1 and apply lightest colour to stencil. Remove and clean stencil



Step two - tape down stencil no 2 and apply mid tone colour, I always hold the stencil as well as taping down. Now remove and clean this stencil.



Step three - tape down stencil no 3, now either use your darker colour or use a texture paste or similar medium through the stencil. Now remove the clean stencil.

Step four - you can now take the masks included in th package and place over the main images and apply stamping and colour around the edges.



I love the effect these stencils give. They work fabulously on canvases and bags etc.

Flower Foam and Kay Carley Stamps

I have spent quite a bit of time playing with Flower Foam it has lots of applications. For this card I made a background using Distressed Oxides (new colours) stamped using Kay Carley stamps for Paperartsy and then die cut tiny little flowers to decorated, a bit fiddly but worth it.

More Flower Foam

This time I have used Oxides again and Paperartsy stamps, this set is one of Jo Firth Young's from a while back but still a favourite. Looking forward to seeing the new ones at Stitches.

Stamping, flower foam and oxides

So today I have been playing with the new colours of Distressed Oxides for the background and more for some flowers, stamp from the free stamp from Craft Stamper Mag a month ago. Then I added some flowers die cut from flower foam I am just getting into this medium very pleased with the results so far. I will be back tomorrow to show some more work. Finally finished off with Liquid Pearls.
