STAMPlorations Stencil Blog Hop - Helen G. Designs!

Hello friends! Today over at STAMPlorations we are celebrating addition of a new stencil line "Helen G. Designs" illustrated by our very own team member Helen Gullet. Her stencils are absolutely awesome and I have been a great admirer of her cards and mixed media projects for long. Her stenciled creations are always amazing. I am so glad that I get to play with her very first designs.

Me along with a few designers are hopping with Helen to inspire you. No hop is complete without prizes. So dont forget to comment for a chance at these prizes.

Prizes:

* ONE (1) winner of a $15 gift code to the STAMPlorations store
* TWO (2) winners of their choice of 2 Helen G. Designs stencils

Commenting closes on May 8, with the winners announced on May 10 in the April winners post.


Let me show the projects I made... I used the stencils in three different ways to get three unique backgrounds :)
For this card, I Distress inked the stencil, sprayed with water and laid it on card stock panel. Once dried, I die cut a rectangular frame. I added Make a wish die cut sentiment, stamped another half of my sentiment and accented it with enamel dots.

For this card, I inked the panel, laid the stencil over it and sprayed with water to get the textured background. I then stamped and colored the images and adhered them on this panel with foam adhesive.

Finally, I made a clean and simple card. Here I used the stencil the traditional way :)
I stenciled the dots partially. I stamped the flowers and did no line water coloring. I adhered them on panel and accented it with a strip of patterned paper.

I have used Make Marks 3, Make Marks 5 stencils, Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies, Make a Wish Phrase dieKathryn's Big Wishes, Little Love Birthday Wishes [for sentiment], Lotus LoveRise and Grind [for sentiment]. Gansai Tambi Watercolors and Prismacolor Pencils for coloring.

I hope you enjoyed my creations. Don't forget to hop along. You can start HERE
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)
