I'm back as one of the Guest Designers for
CAS Mix Up July Stencil Challenge. Here's another example of the Stencil Tracing technique & I hope you'll be inspired to play along. This time I inked SSS Bouquet of Roses stencil using sponge daubers with Brilliance Pearlescent Poppy & Starlite Black.
Love the subtle shimmer of these inks. My tracing was done with a dark gray Staedtler Triplus Fineliner pen I recently picked up curbside. Actually, hubby picked it up. I love being home making cards, but he gets a little stir crazy. Always good to have errands for him to do! Glad I got this pen--easy to use & perfect for stencil tracing.
The sentiment is SSS Painted Hugs die cut stacked a couple high & a Cosmo clear background sticker I attached to white cardstock & trimmed with scissors to the size I wanted. Lately I'm liking a mat barely larger than my panel, so that's what I used here. Finished off with clear sequins & another card ready to mail. I also crossed one more thing off my to do list: make a card with gray leaves. I like it so much I'm going to try gray with other colors of flowers.
I'm entering

This is so elegant, lovely colours too. I am with you on the small outline, I always think it looks better. Thanks for designing 2 cards with us this month xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful two tone card, so crisp and clean. Thank you so much for being among our special guests this month at CAS Mix Up! xx
ReplyDeleteLove your stenciled roses and grey leaves, Greta. Such a nice soft effect and adding the stencil tracing with your black pen really made your image stand out in a soft way...not a pop off the card way! Your narrow black border was a softer frame effect. I have been seeing more narrow borders on CAS card designs. I have been thinking of doing the same type of border. TFS and always inspiring me, my friend. So pleased to have you as one of our Guest Designers this month. Stay Safe and Creative. Love and Hugs...Nancy
