Hi STAMPlorations fans! Leslie here from Love To Scrap 2 and I'm super stoked to be a Stencil Sunday guest designer for the next three months! I have several fun projects to share with you today, so let's get started! 

My first project is a congrats note card using the ARTplorations Almost Tetris slimline stencil along with the CUTplorations Bravo word die. 



I did some basic ink blending with distress inks, splattered with black gesso on a fan brush, and embellished with black cardstock strips and black gemstones. 



I carried the ink blending to the inside by using a strip trimmed from the inked panel on the front, and since this is a note card I left the panel blank to write a custom message.

My second project is an anniversary card using the ARTplorations Almost Shattered stencil, a CRAFTplorations Spring Florals A2 Card Front, and the STAMPlorations Beautiful Place To Get Lost stamp.


I masked off the florals in both corners and inked the background through the stencil with distress ink. I heat embossed the bold sentiment in the center of the panel and added several iridescent gemstones.




I embellished the inside with a leftover narrow card front strip and a slightly wider black cardstock strip, and stamped the sentiment from the STAMPlorations Better Together stamp set.

And my third project is a mixed media art board using the ARTplorations ART happens mask and Circles Flexi-Template, and STAMPlorations Art Is stamp set. 



I sprayed glimmer mists with mica flakes over the mask and circle flexi-templates, randomly stamped images/sentiments and flicked gold paint over the Gessobord background.




I used the same process for the 'R' on the small square EcoArtBoard. I added a CRAFTplorations Funky Arrows #2 and then edged the Gessobord and EcoArtBoard with the gold paint. 




I hope you are inspired to get crafty and pull out those stencils! Thanks so much for stopping by - we'll see you next time!

Scrappy hugs,
Leslie
