Make It Monday #264: Die-cut Stencil Shapes

Melissa Phillips shows us how to a stencil effect with the dies that you have in your craft room.  You can join in the fun and see HOW to do it here. 


 I decided to use a die called Star Scribbles set.   After cutting out the die, I used it for a stencil on my back ground.  Placing it in various area of the paper.  Then I sponged with PTI Aqua Mist ink.  I also used a die called Present.  For the main part of the present, I used gingham and then die cut the outline from white card stock.  I wanted to create a darker monochromatic look, so I sponged that with Distress ink in Evergreen Bough.    If you look closer at the background behind the present, I actually used the stencil on the card too.  Then some added stars and glitter to make it more Happy! 

I will be entering this one in the Make it Monday #264 challenge. 

That for brightening my day with your comments.

  3. LOVE your stenciled background, that color is fabulous! I also love that Designer Paper, front and that wee bit peeking out from inside! Great idea adding the actual star die and extra stars to your pretty card. That present die is awesome, I don't think I have seen it before! Love this, Barb!!!
