Just Us Girls #807 - Stencil Week

I'm hosting the stencil challenge this week at Just Us Girls. 

I saw Jennifer McGuire use a foil plate, die and stencil from Pinkfresh Studio and had to buy it.  I ended up making four different cards.

It's called Pretty Blossoms and has a die that cuts out the background.  The image was hot foiled in matte silver and colored with Altenew inks in Wisteria, Hydrangea, Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades. Once cut, the flowers were glued to matte silver cardstock and a Better Press sentiment was foiled to match.  

This card was hot foiled in black and stenciled with Pastel Sunrise, Canyon Clay, Lime and Limeade ink from Altenew.  The background was left intact and another BetterPress sentiment was added.

Now for the cards that really made me buy the set.

The plate was hot foiled in gold and stenciled with Concord and 9th Pimento and Brickyard, and Altenew Just Green and Hunter Green.  The die cut out the background.  The card base was cut at an angle and the stenciled panel was cut to match with a little extra for gluing.  A thin gold strip covers where they meet.  This allowed me to get two cards from one panel.

The sentiments are both from PTI, some I haven't used in ages but they fit along the line perfectly.

This photo give you a better idea of the see-through bottom of the card front and the gold that was used for the strip. 

I hope I have given you some ideas for using your stencils and that you make a card for our gallery.  The Design Team and our guest Laurel have more inspiration for you on the Just Us Girls blog.
