Sneak Peek: June 2019 Stencils

Hi, everyone! Marge here with you to share my cards featuring the new stencils along with other new stamps/dies from the June 10th Release. We have four new stencils and I’m going to use three of them which are Tropical Leaves, Tropical Background, and Triangles to show you how you can use stenciled patterns as a background for your cards. 

First, I ink-blended a piece of A2 sized Bristol paper partially using regular distress inks. I put the Tropical Leaves Stencil on the paper, then I sponged similar colored archival dye inks over the stencil, and then I splattered with water. I created two panels with different color themes as shown in the picture to use them as backgrounds for tropical scenes. 

With the yellow one, I made a scene with toucans using the new Tropical Toucans Stamp and Tropical Toucans Coordinating Dies. I used Glue Dots and Square Foam Adhesives to adhere the images, and the sentiment was chosen from Tropical Birds Stamp set. I also cut one edge of the panel using Scallop Borders Dies to give some visual interest. Embellishments I used are 6mm Sunshine Glow, 4mm Sunshine Glow, and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins.

For the green one, I used Tropical Birds Set and Tropical Toucans Set to compose a scene. Then, I adhered Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins for a touch of sparkle.

Here’s my third card featuring Tropical Background Stencil. I simply put the stencil onto a piece of  Bristol paper, then I colored it in with distress inks using regular- and mini-blending tools.

By doing this, you can make a quick and easy pattern background full of tropical moods. I added Happy Summer Script Die cuts made of gold mirror card stock on the center with a sheet of vellum paper under the scripts. For embellishing I used 6mm Metallic Gold Sequins and 4mm Metallic Gold Sequins.

Lastly, one more card with a stenciled background where I used the brand new Triangles Stencil. Again, I did partial stenciling which covers half part of the panel in diagonal direction by using blue dye inks. 

I did no-line water-coloring on Hibiscus Flowers Stamp Set which is also a part of the new release, then I cut the images using Hibiscus Flowers coordinating dies. A sentiment from Encouraging Greetings Set was stamped, and I finished off my card by adding Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins.

Thanks for reading this post. Stop by tomorrow for a look at more of the new release!
