Stencil Fun for Totally Techniques

Hello to all.

The end of May is upon us and I know that lots of families are busy with grads and making summer plans already! I can't believe it is that time again but I had fun creating this card for you.

The technique for this month was "Stencilling" An open canvas as long as there was a stencil used . Some thought went into this card, I tried a couple of different things but finally went with the wonderful Stars Decorative Mask that Stampin' Up! has. But I added some of my own to this as well, as you will see.

Here we go. I used the "mask" stencil with a sponge dauber to place some stars in Smoky Slate. Then I wondered how to add some larger ones in the Marina Mist. Out came the Stars Framelits Dies and I put some Vellum through mister big. You will see what I did when I show the inside of my card.

I am soooo in love with the new Swirly Scribbles Thinlits. Thanks to Stampin' Up! for this new addition. I used three of the Swirls to add to the Soft Sky mat. These are so much fun.

I know, I used this set of thinlits also on the card I did on Thursday. Just shows how versatile it is.

The sentiment came from the "Crazy About You" stamp set. Loads of ideas there.

Now you can see the inside. I used the Vellum star as a stencil to achieve the ones on the card front. I liked the way it looked after I was done so into the inside it went.

Then I added a few more small stars and I was happy. I think this would make a great grad card , just put the reasons you are "Crazy About" your special graduate, inside the card.

So now off to the rest of the blogs..... I will share the product links at the end of the post. But remember, any new items aren't available til June 1st. We demonstrators really enjoy the privledge of a preorder!!!!

Have fun.
