StencilGirl & Imagine Blog Hop!

7/8/2016

80 Comments

 
Welcome to Day ONE of the StencilGirl Products & Imagine Christmas in July Blog Hop!
Picture
I've been having tons of fun combining Imagine Creative Medium in Iridescent Turquoise, Metallic Copper and Metallic Silver with StencilGirl Products to create my own holiday cards with dimension and bling! It was easy to use a palette knife to spread the creamy pastes through stencils onto black cardstock! And to add even more dimension, I painted and adhered Hand-Cut Monterey Trees and Stars to these holiday cards, too!
Mary C. Nasser
For this first card, I used the stencils Three Trees and It's a Small World Longitude.

This second card incorporates Three Trees and Latitude and Longitude.

I used Three Trees to create both these cards.

This last card combines parts of Three Trees, Urban Insiders Star, and Techno Insiders Star.

When I saw the "spread love" card this morning, I thought about how very appropriate it is at this time in our country. I'm sure it wasn't planned that way, but each offer of love makes my heart heal a little! Thanks, Mary!

Your latitude and longitude and small world stencils combined with stars are perfect for themes of world peace and love. As someone else noted, very appropriate for our world today. This is a great hop, really sparking ideas for me!
