STAMPlorations Stencil Blog Hop Featuring: Sanna Lippert Designs

Hello!  I am so excited to be able to take part in the STAMPlorations Stencil Blog Hop!  Today we are celebrating the addition of Sanna Lippert Designs in the STAMPlorations Store.  Her stencils are so fun, and intricate there are so many various ways that they can be used.  Since I am part of the Clean and Simple Team I've decided to use my stencils in very CAS way.  Take a peek...

For my first card I've used the beautiful new Leaves 1 Stencil with Gold Embossing Paste.  I love how delicate these leaves look and the gold really makes the whole card feel elegant.  Once the panel dried I adhered it to my cardbase.  For a sentiment I've used the Be Kind Phrase Die and popped it up with a strip of vellum and gold cardstocks.  I finished the card off with a few clear and gold sequins.

For my second card I've used the new Flowers 1 Stencil.  This card makes for a beautiful background that can also become the main focal point.  I love how tall and thin the stems are for the flowers and how they seem to be reaching up towards the sun.  This time I decided to use my stencil with an emboss resist technique.

To create this card I started by going over the stencil with my Versamark Ink Pad, when I removed the stencil I was able to heat emboss the image with white embossing powder.  Distress Oxides blend so beautifully that I knew they would be perfect for my background. I used a fun mix of Wilted Violet, Peacock Feathers, and Fossilized Amber to go over the embossed image.  Since the flowers felt playful in these colors I decided to adhere them to a black panel and then angle it all onto my cardbase.  I used black again for die cutting my Hello Sunshine Phrase Die and added it right along the bottom.

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking my projects out today!  I also have a code you can use to save you 20% off your total purchase! YAY!
