STAMPlorations~ Stencil Hop Day 6~ Layered Dots

Good Morning and happy Friday everyone! I'm here today with another make for Day 6 of the

There are some amazing prizes up for grabs...check out the info here and get hoppin'! :o)

Here's Day 1's Distressed tag using Honeycomb Delight Mini Stencil. Here's Day 3's CAS card where I embossed using the Hearts All Over Stencil. 

Today, I'm layering using one stencil, the Bubbles- Mini ARTplorations Stencil.

 I started with a #8 Manilla tag and layered Fossilized Amber, Carved Pumpkin and Red Barn Distress Inks with a blending tool. I then went thru the Bubbles Mini Stencil with a Baby Wipe to get faint bubbles and then layered the same distress inks thru the stencil again to create depth and a Bokeh effect. I finished with a layered flower, butterfly and Chipboard Sentiment from my stash. 
 

I hope you've enjoyed my 3 makes for this fun ARTplorations Stencil Hop. :o)

  

Faery Ink~ String of Love Faery

Good Morning Crafty Friends, if you are looking for my TWO PAPER DIVA'S make click here. :o)

I'm here to share a card I made for

 using the Newly  Released String of Love Faery.

How gorgeous is she??? :o)

I did a soft BOKEH TECHNIQUE for the background as I thought it lent an ethereal feel to the image. I used Distress Inks in "Victorian Velvet" and "Shaded Lilac". Then went over it with Color Box "Frosted White" and a home-made stencil using acetate and Lifestyle Crafts NESTING CIRCLES dies in various sizes. 

I colored this beauty with Spectrum Noir Markers and fussy cut her out. Then I went over her gown with Wink of Stella for some shimmer.

  

and here's a side view where you can see I propped her up with Foam Dots for dimension. 

I finished off with a sentiment from Crafter's Companion "Party Paws- Bamboo Treats" set

So Susy Stamps~ Judy Garland Bokeh Style

Good Morning my crafty friends! 

I'm here with my first inspiration post for

 So Suzy Stamps!

So very excited to be on this fabulous DT with sucah an amazing group of gals!

So without further ado....

I used Judy Garland and did a Bokeh Effect Technique for the background. 

 I loved this technique with the amazing stand alone sentiments that Suzy has in her store. I started with 5'x5' Watercolor paper. Inked with  Tim Holtz Distress Inks in "Abandoned Coral" and "Broken China". 

Then I used a template I made from Acetate using circle dies from Lifestyle Crafts in various sized circles. 

Using White Craft Ink, I dabbed in the templates, overlapping some circles and making more circles more defined or "Whiter" to give the illusion they were in the forefront. 

Allow to dry or dry using your heat tool.I finished with Stamping my Sentiment in Teal Dye ink and layered it onto Coral cardstock 1/8' bigger and layered onto my 5.5'x5.5' basecard. Finished with some bling, because really, what's a little bling hurt? hehehehe

I hope I've inspired you "to Get Crafty" today.
