Club Scrap March Artist Team Challenge With Succulents Kit

Hi Everyone,
Welcome back to another Club Scrap Artist Team Challenge. This month's challenge is to use a set of coordinating stencils. Lower case, Upper case and Numerials. Starting today the alpha stencils are 50% so be sure to grab them. Before we get started if you came from Lisa's Blog then you came from the right place. If you didn't you can start with Karen at Club Scrap's Blog. All product used is from the Succulents Kit unless otherwise stated.

Finished card measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" folded

For this card I used the stencil with my scanncut. It will work with fussy cutting but if you have a cutting machine this can be fun. I outlined the number 5 and 0 in a black marker. I placed it in my scanncut and cut it out without borders. It turned out better than I had hoped. The base of the card is in plain cardstock. I stamped in India Ink black the big flower and also used the scanncut to cut it out this time with a 0.04" border. I cut out the patterned paper 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered the flower to the center then adhered the patterned paper to the front base of card. I used pop ups to adhere the 50 and then used diamond stickles to add a little sparkle. Next I stamped and scanncut my sentiment and placed it on the 0.

The base of the card is plain cardstock cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" then folded in half. I cut a dark color cardstock 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" and adhered to bottom of card leaving the top in lighter cardstock. I cut the patterned paper 3" x 4 1/2" and directly on the patterned paper I used Texture Paste with the Upper Case stencil B. Once it was dry I adhered to the card. I created the word mine and cut it with the scannut. I adhered it slightly on top of the B and added some stickles for some sparkle.

For this card I went mixed media crazy and out of my comfort zone. I knew I wanted to use the canvas tag on my card. I started my using a background stencil with texture paste. As it was drying I sprayed some inks. Then I added a mist of perfect pearls white with water. Once dry I used acrylic black paint and used the numeral 1 to use as a shadow. When that dried I used the numeral 1 with texture paint and colored it with inks. The base of the card is in plain cardstock 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" then folded in half. I cut a patterned paper 4" x 5 1/4". I used a cut-a-part and placed it in the upper left corner. Then I added the tag. With the fiber yarn I wrapped it 3 times and tied in front with a knot then adhered to the card. For a finishing touch I heat embossed in silver the sentiment love and used the scannut to cut it and adhered to card. An unconventional Valentine's or Anniversary card but I just love how it turned out. 



That concludes my projects. Be sure to head on over to Anne Marie's Blog to continue seeing awesome projects using the alpha stencils.

  14. Wow, Tina! I love seeing how you use your SnC. I watch Julie FFB talk about it all the time on HSN and I really think if I ever was going to get an electronic machine, it would be that one.
