Stencilling

It's Gez's turn to set the challenge on the Daring Cardmakers and she would like to see lots of stencils being used.  How you use it, and whether it's a bought one or you make one yourself is up to you.

If you do a google image search on "free stencils" there are loads of ideas to download and use with inks, paints etc.  I found a pretty butterflies stencil  I saved the image, then decreased the colours to just 2 (Black and White) before moving the butterfly images about a bit to fit better onto a square card. 
I saved this as a .gif and opened it on a Craft Robo page and resized to be the right size for my project. The stencil was cut in plain white card and was all ready to use.

I used the little cut out butterflies too, inking them and adding them in the gaps.  Some were just glued down flat, others are just adhered under the body section so that their wings can be folded up

Inks; mix of Versamagic and Cats Eye ink pads

Dies: Memory Box Amana Circle, Large Butterfly

Bazzill deep purple card

Dewdrops in aqua shades

Ice Stickles in purple and crystal white

I did make another card but it was such a "dog's breakfast" that it's going in the bin!
