CASology : Stencil

Hi there!

Time for a new cue card at CASology !

                                                        

Stencils are such a great tool to help you create a one layer card!


A closer look:



My card was made with 2 stencils that were cut with my Silhouette cameo. This is what they look like:


I used the positive of the boat to mask the BG (stencil on the left) and then I used the negative, or stencil of the boat to add color for the boat.

Distress inks used :

Faded jeans
Tumbled glass
Vintage photo
Antique linen

My sentiment is the Afrikaans version of : when you feel like drowning (or your boat is sinking), remember your Lifesaver walks on water.

( I will add it to the quote/scripture page as soon as I can in English and Afrikaans)

So glad you featured stencils today, Hannelie. I actually pulled out a stencil this afternoon and thought, "I should use this very soon to make a card." Your card today was further inspiration to actually DO it. I love your sailing scene and sweet sentiment.

Fabulous stencilling Hannelie. I especially like the shading on the sailboat sails - they look so 3D. A brilliant one layer card.
