AAA Birthday #4

Hello!

We are starting another monthly AAA Birthday challenge and this one is for the boys :)

I knew exactly which stencil I wanted to use for this card:

I sponged through my surfer stencil with black acrylic paint and then used the mask to cover him up while I inked my sunray stencil in the background.  A few touches with my white posca paint pain added some highlights to the image.

I shall also link up at The Male Room Challenge where the theme is Surf's Up.

The rest of the DT have fab birthday cards to inspire you this month over at AAA Birthday. I hope you will take the time to play along with us :)

Uniko Release

Hello!

The Uniko release is finally here and available to purchase!!  It contains a fab range of stamps, stencils and dies and I have had so much fun making cards with them this week.....Here are a few cards that I haven't shared with you yet.

Here I have used the Stylised Floral stencil with colour bursts - sprinkling the powder and spritzing through the stencil with water.  The sentiment is from the lovely Just Because stamp set.

By contrast with the multi coloured first card, here is a CAS way of using the Stylised Floral.  I inked through it with Faded Jeans Distress Oxide and then popped a circle aperture over the top.  I love this crisp look.

I used the Party Confetti stencil on this card alongside the balloons from the Balloon Bash stencil and birthday sentiments from the last release.  

I hope that you hop along with us to celebrate release day and see all of the lovely products showcased.  You can find the links to all of the DT blogs at Uniko.  I look forward to seeing what you come up with when you get yours :)

Craft Stamper May Challenge

Hello!

Today I am sharing my latest card for the May Take It Make It challenge over at the Craft Stamper blog.  It is easy to take part - anything goes as long as your project features some aspect of stamping.

I stamped the fab background from Studio Light on the card base in navy ink.  I then used my surfer stencil over the top, inking in shades of blue distress oxides before adding further details from Lisa Horton's Inspiring Edges stamp set.

I hope that the combination of blues and stamped elements give a sense of movement on this simple, one layer card.

Do check out the wonderful inspiration from the DT over at Craft Stamper!

There is a fab prize from Skull and Cross Buns for a randomly chosen winner :)

Awesome

Hello!

I have a new stencil to share with you today which I think gives you lots of options for making cool cards for guys! I have used the stencil and the mask to make the following:

Here I used the stencil aperture and dabbed through with white and blue acrylic paints.  I stippled the colours to give the wave some variation of colour.  The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps (no longer available) and is white embossed.

I effectively used the same technique by stippling around the surfer mask.

I will link the first card up at CASology as I think it works great with their cue card - Active.  I will also link up at Time Out as I think this wave looks pretty wild :)  I would also like to play along with this week's Anything Goes challenge at Simon's Wednesday Challenge.

I hope you like the new stencil....it is available in my Folksy shop :)
