Welcome to my blog today!!  So glad to have you here.  I have been fighting a darn headache for 2 weeks now, so I didn't feel well enough to scrap too terribly much so far this month...Finally went to doctor and got some meds, hoping I will start healing up pretty soon... I made a few cards for the blog hop - really loving this month's kit!!

This is an extremely simple technique for the cards - just stamp the image onto white cardstock and then cut into strips or squares, then ink in various colors of ink using sponge daubers.  Mat onto card backs and add some of the cute little gems that came in the ClubScrap kit this month!

Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoy my project and find it inspiring!!

Now would you like to see some more great creative ideas using this month's kit from ClubScrap???  Just check out the next participant in the Blog Hop, please visit Kay Williamson for more!  You can also visit ClubScrap's Blog for the full list of participants.

Club Scrap August Artist Challenge

Stencils & Acrylic Paint Technique

This month's challenge was to use stencils.   I had never tried to use Acrylic paint with my stencils even though I have watch Tim Holtz use paint and wanted to give it a go.

So to start off - you need to use a thick acrylic paint, not the pourable kind.  The pourable kind will just slide right under the stencil and mess up the image.  I used squeeze tubes of paint from Artist Loft, or I also had some daubers of acrylic paint that have almost dried up - I just put the almost dried out paint onto my craft sheet added water and mixed until a thick but spreadable consistency.  If you have the pourable paint, you can mix with a gel medium to thicken it up and work with that as well.





Supply list:
Acrylic paint
Rubberstamps
Stencils
Ink

Card 1  - It's your birthday (Bees)
Using an old plastic credit card, spread yellow acrylic paint over part of stencil onto card front.
Remove stencil - run wash it off - and let the acrylic paint dry.
Cut some circles and stamp 'bee' image and mat onto larger circles.  Adhere to card front.  Stamp sentiment.  Mat onto card back.

Card 2 - Giraffe card

Using an old plastic credit card, spread brown acrylic paint over part of stencil onto card front.
 Remove stencil - run wash it off - and let the acrylic paint dry.

Stamp 'giraffe' image onto a piece of white cardstock and mat on green cardstock.
Adhere matted image onto card front.

Card 3 - Butterfly kisses

This one I did a little different, instead of using acrylic paint, I used wood filler paste.  I got this from the hardware store.  It is that stuff you'd use to fill in a hole in a piece of wood.  It is a squeeze bottle and is a little thick (course I have had this for years, might just be a little dried out), so I added a little water to thin it out and make it real spreadable.  I then spread out on stencil.


Remove stencil and let dry. Go wash stencil.
Then I used Delusion sprays to color the entire card.  Let dry.
I inked the edges of the card front with brown and a little black ink.  I used the large 'butterfly' image from Papillion kit stamped ink black ink on white cardstock and spritz with some red delusions spray, let dry.  Then I used sharpie pens to color in some of the spots on the butterfly.  Add additional embellishments and mat onto card back as shown.
