Stenciled Background Using Shape Dies

Hello friends. I am in love with the Ranger Simon Hurley Lunar Pastes! So many beautiful colors and I love the metallic sheen too! Need to get more of them! I used it a stencil created from shaped dies. So much fun to use!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and another piece to 4 x 5″. I also cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp Cardstock Holographic Rainbows Cardstock to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

Next, I created a stencil out of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ ( 6 x 6″) by die cutting the clovers with the Lawn Fawn Lucky Clovers dies. I used Simon Hurley Minty Fresh and Later Gator Lunar Paste.

I die cut the main part of the sentiment from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Kraft Stock and 2x from Simon Says Stamp Cardstock 100# 8-1/2 x 11″ Black Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Henry’s ABCs. I stacked them before adhering to the card. I added some clovers die cut from Simon Says Stamp Cardstock Holographic Rainbows Cardstock.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of the Simon Says Stamp Cardstock Holographic Rainbows Cardstock to 1 x 4-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn’s Happy Happy Happy add-on stamp set with Tim Holtz Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink.

Then added the clouds using My Favorite Things Mini Cloud Edges Mix-ables Stencil and Tim Holtz Broken China Distress Ink. I sprayed the background with water using the Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer.
