Hello there crafty friends! Today I am thrilled to be part of the Altenew Geometry & Nature Stencils Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from the blog of the wonderfully talented Norine Borys...
There are so many awesome new stencils in this release and I had a chance to play with a few of them for this hop. There are so many great designs that will be sure to become staples in your stencil collection. You can see all of the new stencils HERE. Today I have created five different cards for you playing around with a number of different styles...I hope you find something you like!
The first card uses the new Mighty Corners stencil paired with more muted colors for a retro feel...I completed the card with a popped up Hello from the Bold Greetings die that I cut from multiple layers of cardstock.
For my second card, I used shimmer sprays and water with the Modern Circles Stencil to make a monoprint onto the paper...simply spray the sprays onto the stencil, mist with water and flip the stencil onto your paper. Place a paper towel over the stencil and press down, then lift. The paper towel is what will help the open spaces remain free of spray :) I combined this colorful panel with a sentiment from Mega Label Love to keep it simple.
For my third card, I applied ink in rainbow colors through the Sphere stencil, and added a big bold hi that I cut from the Bold Alphabet die. I cut a small strip and stamped a sentiment from the Hello Sunshine stamp set, and added a few enamel dots.
For this card, something a bit different. I used the Leaf Drops stencil along with some gel medium to create a resist for my Lagoon Metallic Shimmer Spray. Once the panel was dry, I added some Jet Black spray splatter. I stamped and colored and die cut the flowers from the Wallpaper Art stamps and dies and colored them in with Watercolor Brush Markers. Then I embossed the sentiment in white on a black cardstock strip.
For my final card, I made something a little more artsy using Embossing Paste and Antique Gold embossing powder through the Color Block Triangle stencil. I stamped and embossed the flower from Ornate Foliage set and colored it in with Metallic Watercolors on black watercolor paper. Then I stamped and embossed a greeting from the set to finish the card.
