Welcome to my Stencil Sunday post where, once again, I'm sharing some simple ways to play with the wonderful array of stencils available at STAMPlorations.
Fourth post and guess what: four cards to share! I didn't have that as my intention but once I started playing...well, let's just say I carried on!
The title of today's post: LOVE for Leaf Prints 2!!
Today's cards have a common design, featuring a SINGLE stencil focus, Leaf Prints 2 - ARTplorations Stencil, and the same sentiment/embellishment base, Pierced Curly Frames/Tags Nesting Dies. Other products used are:
What sets the cards apart: the techniques used to showcase the stencil. Let's begin...
Card 1
Alcohol ink background + C Gina K Glitter Gel
In real life, this is wonderfully shimmery!
Flutter Zen 2 Layering Dies butterfly in vellum
Card 2
Dry embossed background, then inked with Twisted Citron DI
Dragonfly Layering Dies - The Bee's Knees - dragonfly cut from gold sparkle cardstock
Pierced Curly Frames/Tags Nesting Dies, lightly dusted with Spun Sugar DI
Card 3
I used a new-to-me product - Cosmic Shimmer: Opal Blaze Polish in Pink Blueberry.
It's a lovely product, easily applied with your finger tip (think 'dipping your finger into yummy icing!). Different hues depending on your paper; on black...oh myyyy!
Card 4
*Had* to include yet another foiled card - this time a gorgeous Brutus Monroe foil
After foiling the card, I used Deco Foil Transfer paper, cut the dragonfly, then foiled it as well.

Carol - lovely leaf backgrounds and I love the attached insects as well - nice job! TFS
ReplyDeleteOOOOO I love the leaf prints! The purple sparkle is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI like the examples using different mediums. Great look at how to get different looks using the same stencil.
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but my favorite is the dragonfly!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so very pretty! I have these dies so I appreciate the inspiration using them. I love the last one best because purple is my fave color.
ReplyDeleteYou have to love a good crafty roll! These are really pretty and so visually interesting. Im into dragonflies lately, not sure why tee hee, really love that die. Thanks for the inspiration and love that you couldn't leaf it at one card🤣😂♥️ be safe!
ReplyDeleteAmazing looks on
ReplyDeleteall these lovely
cards and thanks
for all the ideas.

Wow, Carol! You got some fantastic looks with that stencil! You are the Queen of Stencils in my book! You sure know how to make them shine. Don't tell the other cards, but I think that foiled one just might be my favorite. But they are all so beautiful it just eeked ahead a teensy tiny bit. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAt first I preferred #1 and #2. But then when I looked at all of the in detail, each is amazing for different reasons! I might actually prefer the purple. These look just amazing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards with this pretty stencil design! Love the foiled one!
ReplyDeleteI love this wonderful variety of cards! Each one is so beautiful :) Card #4 is my most fav :)
ReplyDeleteCarol, these stenciled cards are so lovely...you've created such a diverse set of designs with this stencil--I can't pick a favorite; they are all awesome! tfs-stay well.
ReplyDeleteThey are ALL beautiful but I'm biased about the card using our Deco Foil! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWell my Stencil Queen did it again. These are absolutely fabulous, Carol. I can see you had fun trying all the different mediums.
ReplyDeleteWow - just wow! These are all so fab!
ReplyDeleteI love all four cards. Glad I don't have to choose a favorite!
ReplyDeleteLove the stenciled backgrounds. My fave is #4.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with all the shimmer!! Thank you for the inspiring ideas!!
