Just Imagine- Use Your Stencil as a Stamp

Welcome

Today's card features the newly released Star Stretch stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

I tried a new technique for this card and was pleased with the results as it gave a muted background.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I got out a piece of white cardstock and my Star Stretch stencil.  I also got out a solid background stamp from Hero Arts called Paint Swatches.  You have to use a solid stamp for this technique.
• Next, I inked up the solid stamp with some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink and pressed the stamp onto the Star Stretch stencil to pick up the pattern and stamped that onto my white cardstock.
• I repeated that process until the whole panel was covered.
• I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti and stamped the flowers to one side and the sentiment near the top.  I did heat emboss them to help make them pop.
• I glued the finished panel onto a piece of black cardstock, then onto blue and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I added 3 black gems around the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:
