Stencil It!

Stencils are all the rage right now, there are so many things you can do with them! You can use them as masks to create fabulous custom backgrounds, you can spritz, sponge, stipple, use a blending tool to ‘smoosh’ the colors, use several layers of stencils to create a collage design effect. You could also use embossing paste to create texture, there are lots of fun techniques to try.  You are never quite sure of how it will look until you remove the stencil and then your design is revealed!  You can also use them to emboss a delicate design onto paper or card stock.

This week the Wednesday Challenge are asking everyone to ‘Stencil It’. You can use store bought stencils, or you can make your own masks using die cut, or hand cut shapes.

Once you have made your creation just go ahead and upload it into the linky on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog!  We can’t wait to see what you make!

As always, we’re offering a chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to Simon Says Stamp! (If you enter in this weeks Wednesday Challenge, you’ll have a chance to win!)

  1. I love the anniversary card. The flowers on it are adorable. I love to use stencils on mixed media canvases.

  2. Great challenge and fabulous DT inspiration! I can’t wait to pull out my stencils and play along.

  3. Stencils are fun, but I don’t tend to pull them out that often anymore, and there are so many found items you can use too, going to have to add this technique back into my bag of tricks. Wonderful designs that you showcased. following by email:)

  4. WONDERFUL CREATIONS!!! I LOOOOVE that the stencils are cheap enough that you can get several at one time…& they are SO VERSITILE!!! ;) THANKS for showing us these FABULOUS CREATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

  5. You do see stenciling a lot these days. Its something I haven’t tried yet. I know I should give it a try with some of my dies. Love the inspiration tho.

  6. I love the projects for this challenge. I never enter them, but love to see what other people do.

  7. Love these, esp. the peachy colored one. Hoping to do this challenge … have had family staying with us since April 28th, so have not been in my craft room since then (even have new birthday gifts to play with!). One – more – day —- ;)
