Pick of the Week ~ Partial Stenciling

This week another designer and I switched weeks so I have two Pick of the Weeks this month. I choose to do a technique called Partial Stenciling. Below you will see the supplies you will need:

Stamps of your choice, die cut shape of your choice, sponge dauber and ink in your choice of color, a stencil, a layering piece of card stock and either painters tape or an easily removable tape to hold your stencil in place.

For my first card I went with a floral stencil and the stamps 10314-H Daisy Solid Large and 10313-H Daisy Outline Large and for my sentiment I used 1808-E Just Because

I die cut my circle and using re-positionable tape I taped my circle in the lower left corner (over the edge) of my layering card stock. Using painters tape position your stencil (floral) over your card stock. Using a sponge dauber or tool of your choice such as a sponge applicator, sponge your stencil onto the card stock. Remove your stencil and circle die cut and complete your card in the white space.

I used one of the singles from our Flower Power Separates collection - stamping the solid image in a yellow and the outline in black. I used some Nuvo drops in the center of the flowers just for a little extra interest. I stamped the sentiment and popped it up on a layered “flag” and put it above the focal image.

Well I decided to do another one since I had all my supplies out and for this one I used 5226-I Cat Sitting Sil. and sentiment 9717-C A Happy Hello. I had this fun cat stencil so it went very well with the cat focal point. For this one I choose to put my image in the center of the card.

And finished card:

The ideas just kept coming - so look for them on my upcoming “Anything Goes” Challenge.
