Stencils & Dies

Welcome to this weeks challenge with the Crazy 4 Challenges team.
This month I am the hostess issuing the challenges, and with my Guest designer Kelly Santi

For my challenge I am asking that you get more out of your dies creating a stencil for your card instead of using it as a die.

 I created a stencil using a old x-ray film so that I could get many uses out of it.
Using Versamark ink with the direct to paper technique I applied a heavy layer of ink, I then added pearl embossing powder and heat set it. I die cut the happy and its shadow, The rose was die cut 4 times, 1 in white then sponged with distress inks, 2 in pink, 1 in black they were all glued together in layers for dimension. The birthday was embossed and die cut with a fishtail die.

Supplies:
Dies: Fancy That - Moroccan wallpaper, Penny Black Rose, Honey Bee happy
Embossing powder - pearl, seafoam white, sentiment - Art Stamps Australia, Distress inks - Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, twisted citron, lucky clover.
