I love stag images and decided to create a stencil that would allow me to use a gorgeous stags head on some card designs. This is a stencil that I cut from the same image as the mdf shape that I shared recently here.
Here are a couple of the cards that I made with my new stencil today:
The open space of the stag's head provides a great opportunity for inking and stamping which is what I did here with some Card-io and Uniko stamps. The sentiment is from Penny Black and the doe is grounded with some glitter which isn't showing up too well here! I will link this card up at Less is More where the challenge this week is over stamping and at Simon's Monday Challenge where the theme is monochrome.
Here I dabbed gold paint through the stag aperture and them added some snowflake and foliage stamps from Uniko in black to create an elegant Christmas colour combination. I shall link this card up as a third entry at Simon Wednesday's Anything Goes Challenge.
I have added the stencil to my folksy shop in case you are interested in getting hold of one for yourself. The stencil measures 13cm x 13 cm and the stag image itself measures approx. 9cm tall which makes it a great size as a focal point on cards and other projects.

Oh how beautiful, Sarah! I love the colors of your first card, some of my fave shades of blue and green there! The stamping you did looks amazing, this has given me many ideas -I have a large stag stencil and have never thought of stamping on top of the inking. Thanks for the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteThe lightly inked blue with the over stamping is soft and delicate, Sarah, and the addition of the doe and fawn is very sweet. The gold and black card is so elegant.
