Clever Dexter August Challenge #20 - Use A Stencil

-

 

Hello, dear crafters! Hope you're all ready for a new challenge this month on Clever Dexter blog. The theme for this month is "Use A Stencil". The optional colour palette for August are White, Navy, Dusty Blue, Fuchsia and, Sand. Our wonderful sponsor for this month is La casetta sull'albero di Chicca. I am using her super adorable Bunny Summer digital stamp for this month's challenge.




I decided to create a water background for this card but didn't have the appropriate stencil. So I modified an old mosaic stencil by rounding its inner edges to give it a puddle silhouette. I think it worked! I use distress ink in Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers for the background. My favourite stenciling tool is rather unusual - I find I get the best result with a sponge beauty blender. These were affordable at USD2 for 3 pieces at my local pharmacist. What do you guys prefer to use for stencil work?

To complete the card, I added a summer-themed sentiment using Ranger Ink Perfect Pearls pigment powder in Perfect Gold. 

I hope you guys will be able to join us for this fun challenge and get the chance to win some lovely digital stamps from our sponsor! Do drop by our FB page and Instagram for more ideas from our talented Design Team.
