Simple Stenciled Cards

A stencil provides a cosmic glimpse.
I had two new Stencils from The Crafter's Workshop arrive in the mail only yesterday so it was a quick project needed to showcase them for you today. I immediately had ideas pour into my head particularly for the beautiful 6 x 6 Constellations Stencil by Carmen Medlin.

I new I had some uplifting and inspirational star and light related quotes in my stash of stamps so these were my starting point for my quick card makes I am sharing with you today.

I stamped and embossed my quotes in white onto black cardstock that I had cut down to card front size.

I then cut a mask to cover my quotes so I could stencil over the black card using the Constellations Stencil. I did this using some white gesso and a sponge.

I then stamped and cut out a star and colored this with some yellow paint and my finger. While these were drying I sponged a little white and yellow paint through my constellation also.

Once my paint was dry I added a little glitter and popped my stars up on my constellation background. I then stuck my now finished card front onto a yellow cardstock base.

And in very little time I have two cosmic looking cards. Be sure to pop back each day this month for more stencil inspiration from the Design Team and The Crafter's Workshop.

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
