Happy Sunday, STAMPlorations friends! We have a new batch of stencil inspiration today. You'll get to see projects that show off how to creatively use ARTplorations stencils. And each month, we'll pick one winner of a $15 gift code -- the winner will be drawn from all comments left on the Stencil Sunday posts for the month, as well as from the designers' blogs.
STAMPgirl Shirley has created 4 stunning cards using just one stencil.
Have a look at Shirley's projects:
I've used one stencil (Peeking Dahlias) to make four cards using four different techniques. This first one uses blending brushes and Distress Oxides,
and a little Stickles bling. Extra detail from Art Marks 2 and Sketchy Alphabet.
*****
My second card was made using undiluted watercolour brush pens, which give a very intense colour.
I watercoloured the background and blotted some of the colour off, then added a butterfly (Fluttery and coordinating die) and a sentiment from Skinny Sentiments.
*****
Here's the third card. I sponged Distress Inks then after removing the stencil I scribbled some outlines and added a sentiment.
Extra squiggles along the base of some of the petals and in the centre helps to add interest.
*****
For my final card, I blended Distress Oxides onto dark card. The opaque colours show up really well on dark card.
I kept this one CAS for maximum impact, and just added some white pencil and a sentiment from Everyday Sentiments.

Fantastic cards showcasing 4 different techniques with one stencil! For a chance to win a $15 gift code to the STAMPlorations store, leave a comment here and on Shirley's blog by March 8. We'll announce the winner in the February winners post on March 10.
