Imagination Crafts: one stencil - two ways

Good morning lovelies - I do hope you're well? I am and my Mischief is starting to become more herself although she's still very grumpy with me - I have to take her back for a post operative appointment soon which should prove interesting - and will probably put me firmly in the bad books again. Oh well - it doesn't take her too long to forget.

Today I want to show you my entry for the Imagination Crafts DT call thats currently going on - the details are here. Thanks to lindasimpson for getting the message out here. I've made two pieces - a card and a tag - both using the same stencil - but both very different I think from each other.




The card was made using a piece of clarity card - I used tumbled glass DI all over the card then put the Imagination Crafts stencil in place and used promarkers to make through the stencil in different colours. Without moving the mask I added translucent sparkle medium from Imagination crafts and left this to dry. Once dry I stamped the Lavinia fairy stamp in place and also onto some other card and paper pieced the fairy dress and wings. Finally I added the LOTV sentiment in place.

The tag was very simple - I used TH distress stains on my craft mat and swooshed my tag through and messed around with the stains direct to card and more swooshing until I got what I wanted. Then I used water and did the spritz and flick - I added the ribbon to the distress stains too. Then I added the stencil and used dreamweaver black embossing paste through the stencil, lifted it off and left the tag to dry. once dry I added the Voyage and artist stamps - both TH.

I would like to enter my items into the following challenges:

    Two wonderful projects Rachel, I love the stenciled flowers. You've created a super background with the DI's, I like making backgrounds this way, they're very random. Good luck with the DT call.

    They are both fantastic Rachel, that stencil is really lovely and how different it looks on each piece too - a great entry for the DT call. Got my fingers crossed, you would be a wonderful addition to their team. Good to hear that Mischief is a little better, don't envy you the second trip to the Vet though.... hope you have a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Anne x
