Craftangles new release..Dangling leaves stencil.

Hello.

Today, card no1 is a simple card made using Craftangles newly released 'dangling leaves" stencil.

I started from the top of the white card stock panel and stencilled the leaves using 'Bamboo leaves' and 'Pear tart' inks from memento.

At the base, I used Tim Holtz 'Woodgrain' stencil to simulate water in a pond.

I then added the die cut butterfly (from spellbinders) and a sentiment from

Craftangles 'Love is in the air' stampset.

The sentiment is heat embossed using Craftangles silver embossing powder.

A sweet and simple card..just the way I like it!

The stencilling in this card is inspired by this card by Rahmat Ghouse.

I am submitting this card for The Paper Players 'Clean and simple-butterflies' challenge.

For card no 2, I've used the same colours as above with the Dangling leaves stencil.

Here I added a fussy cut motorbike and sentiment from Craftangles "Roadtrip" stamp set.

For card no 3,

I have used the newly released Craftangles 'Ripples' stencil, with stamps

from the Craftangles 'Roadtrip stamp set'.

I have used 'Cantaloupe', 'Desert Sand' and 'Rich cocoa' inks

to create sand ripples on textured cardstock.

I stamped and die cut the bike with 'Rich cocoa' and layered it over a piece of vellum.

I then added the sentiment using my Misti tool and also added some brown sequins to finish the card.

For the last card, I used Craftangles 'Ripples' stencil with TimHoltz distress inks

(Broken china, Faded jeans and Chipped Sapphire)

to create ripples in the sea.

I then used the stencil to draw with a pencil on a piece of vellum which I then cut to create a mask.

Then, I stamped the boat (from Paper smooches 'Wicked Nautical' stamp set) over the mask to make it appear as if it is being tossed by the waves.

I then coloured the boat and paper pieced a little bird from the same stamp set to add some cheer.

The sentiment is from the Craftangles 'Road trip' stamp set..which I heat embossed on vellum using Craftangles gold embossing powder.

As an after thought, I added some stars using Winnie and Walter's star stencil.

Absolutely love the cards I made today...mojo has been away..hoping its back!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Craftangles May release stencils

Hello!

I have a couple of cards for you today, made with the newly released stencils from Craftangles!!

They are so gorgeous..I cant get over them!!

I have started with my favourite stencil..'mandala'.

To make this card, I used Hero Arts Unicorn White ink to stencil over a deep green card stock. This ink takes a while to dry and I couldn't wait, so I dried it with my heat tool. This set the ink beautifully!

To finish the card, I stamped and diecut the sentiment using the Birthday stamp and die set, also from Craftangles.

For the second card, I used Tim Holtz 'Picked Raspberry', 'Worn Lipstick' and 'Victorian Velvet' distress inks to stencil the 'mandala' design onto smooth white card stock. I then cut this panel using Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle die. I then layered this panel over some pink cardstock.

I used a second stencil on the card base as well as the stencilled panel to add some interest.

This stencil is the newly released 'Rays' stencil from Craftangles.

To finish the card, I used a die cut sentiment from the Craftangles birthday stamp and die set.
