Share Handmade Kindness Stencil Challenge

 

I like stencils, but stencils aren't my go-to. When I read about the Stencil Challenge on Jennifer McGuire's new Facebook Group, Share Handmade Kindness, I knew that I wanted to challenge myself and play. The results are so-so. I guess it is always good to stretch your limits, though!

I started with the Flourish & Whimsey Stencil from Catherine Pooler Designs.

I first inked it with Melon Ice, then shifted it slightly and applied Lemongrass Ink. Finally, I moved it more and applied a coat of sticky, Wow Embossing Ink and Perfect Pearls, as Jennifer showcased in her video. I framed the background with a die cut from the Chalkboard Frame Dies covered with Lemongrass Ink. The panel was mounted to a card base made from Ultra Smooth White Cardstock.

I then stamped, watercolored with Flirty Fuchsia ink and fussy cut one of the birds from Fluttering Friends Stamp Set. I finished the card with a sentiment from Grace in Bloom Stamp Set and One Liners Stamp Set, stamped onto a fishtail flag banner die cut from the Hearts N Tags Die Set.

It truly was fun to learn a new technique and play around!
