Neglected Supplies April Stencils

[katymjo]

The challenge this month is to use those stencils that are lurking, unloved in your craft room. This is a layering stencil from Club Scrap, March 2008, and I used Distress inks in those Honey, Marmalade, Marigold colours. I liked the way it turned out so I used it once on a card and again on a layout.

Very nice!

Oh Kathryn! Bonus points to you for doing both a scrapbook page and a card! The colors are so pretty.

Hm...I wonder where I've stashed all my stencils...they can't be too far away...

Layering stencils, who knew? Kathryn, both your card and page wonderful; that stencil in those colours really says 'summer'.

[pugmom]

Ahhhhh, yes. I have A LOT of CS stencils that are VERY neglected. This challenge is going to take some thought on my part, but I really love what you've done, Kathryn.

I can’t get a good picture of this today.

I sure ended up covering a lot of the stenciled design. I used one of those mousse products with glitter mixed in.

Very nice, Pam. I do like hexagons and yours are lovely.

Attractive layout, Pam and that glittery mousse looks like a lot of fun!

Thanks - and I found my stencil stash!

[katymjo]

Glad you've found your stencil stash, Pam. Here's another card using the same Distress colours. This stencil was the "freebie" on a craft magazine a couple of years ago.
I am using my Stamp Platform with the magnets to hold my paper and stencil in place. It works really well!

[pamcook]

Very pretty. That's a nice versatile stencil. Sometimes freebies aren't as nice as this one.
Today I'm going to try to use stickles with a stencil. My stash of stickles isn't being used at all.

[pamcook]

Dang. Where is everyone?!

This is how my experiment turned out. I highly recommend using Stickles with your stencils. I used some old Lumiere paints to tint the Crystal Stickles to make the colors I needed. Not sure what I’ll do with it but will get a page made with it sometime today.

Oh wow, Pam. That looks fantastic!

[Keitha]

Kathryn, love the idea to use the stamp press and magnets with the stencils; I'll have to try that. Another really nice card.
Pam, did you scrape the stickles through the same as other pastes? Did the stickles come off your stencils easily?
