More Stencils

Hello!

I have been playing with more stencils this week - I think that I need to step away from them :)  I have two cards to share with you.

 
I have used clear embossing paste on this stencil (I think it is Heidi Swapp) and then inked over it with Worn Lipstick, Spun Sugar, Scattered Straw and Antique Linen distress inks.  I splattered a bit of water to add to the distressed look.  I have used my new butterfly stamp from Hero Arts, white embossed on vellum over a watercoloured base.  I have gold embossed the sentiment from HA's Messages with Flourish on vellum.  This will be my last card playing along with Virginia's View Challenge!
 
My second card is made using a chevron stencil from Simon Says Stamp which I have embossed with black paste.  I cut it up and combined with gold embossed sentiments from Hero Art's Yay set.  Stamped stars and a few sequins to finish. 
 
 
I hope you like them.  Thanks for stopping by :)

    Absolutely gorgeous cards, Sarah! I love the soft colors on your first one...such a great idea to ink the butterfly to match your background, and I really love the chevrons on your 2nd card! Black and gold is such a fabulous color combo, too! You did an amazing job on this challenge!
