Stencil it......again!

 As promised, my second card for Jingle Belles current challenge of using a stencil.  Still using a stencil from The Rabbit Hole Designs called overlapping circles.  

I created a panel using the stencil, peacock feathers, hickory smoke and faded jeans distress ink/oxides.  Sprinkled water and diluted white acrylic paint to create dimension.  Scallops and rectangle dies from Unity Stamp Co, along with the snowglobe (part of the 2021 Advent Calendar) and the sentiment (cheerful prancing).  I used a sketch from {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge #20.

Stencil it!

 Jingle Belles is working on a new prompt this time around.....using stencils!  Doesn't have to be a Christmas stencil....as you can see, mine isn't!

Stencil is from The Rabbit Hole Designs called Overlapping Circles.  Used Hickory Smoke, Faded Jeans and Peacock Feathers distressing.  Sprayed with some water, the sprinkled some diluted white acrylic paint on to create interest!  Used Scallops & Rectangles Nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co.  I used the smaller scallop to cut out the center of the stenciled panel, then placed a white cut piece inside.  I can now use the inside cut piece and outside "frame" to create another card!  Stay tuned for that one! :). The mouse is also from Unity....called Peppermint Kisses Mouse Gnome.  Colored with Tombow Art Markers and then fussy cut.  Sentiment was stamped with peacock feathers ink.  Added some sequins in a grey/graphite color.

Hope you enjoyed this cutie!!  More to come!

{BYSHC} Sketch 19 - more inspiration!

Welcome back!  

I'm here to share the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch!  #19 is still active and going through the end of the month!  

Be sure to link your cards to the {BYSHC} Sketch album on FB!  

I took one double sided 6x6 sheet of SU Night Before Christmas paper and after much measuring and brain pain (lots of thinking it out for me this time!). Cut it correctly to use both sides!  The tag is a recycled (used) tag my daughter received this past Christmas!  I very rarely throw things away! LOL It matched the colors in the paper perfectly!  The sentiment was cut from a large sheet of worded paper....I cut strips with the words I wanted!  This one fit perfectly!

Can't wait to see what you create!  Be sure to check out past sketches and inspiration albums on the Facebook page!  You will be glad you did!

{BYSHC} Sketch 19 Challenge

 Welcome to my blog where everyday I WISH I WAS SCRAPPIN!  It's more about cardmaking these days rather than scrappin, but it's all sort of the same thing anyway....isn't it?!?

I'm here to share the newest Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch!  #19 is active!  Goes all month and will certainly get some holiday cards into your stash for less to do in December!

Be sure to link your cards to the {BYSHC} Sketch album on FB!  

My card today starts with a white card base.  I've added some kraft cardstock on the background.  The stars are embossed, then brushed with some Vintage Photo distress ink to add dimension and then I added some Nuvo Aqua Shimmer in the color Glitter Gloss.  The focal stamp is from Unity Stamp Co. called Brightly Shining.  The black and gold paper at the bottom is also from Unity....its called Resolutions.  It was part of the January 2022 Whit Kit.  Some quick distressing and a strip of gold sticker paper and viola!!  You are done!
