This week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is to use more than one stencil. Multiple stencils, you say? Heck yes! I used some Tim Holtz and Kate Crane stencils to make my card.
I tore the stenciled sections smaller and glued them to my card. I added some teal paint and when it was still wet, I put Tim's THMM113 stencil over it and removed some polka dots (reverse stenciling) with a baby wipe.
This is always kind of the "yikes" phase of a project. I look at it and think it's horrible, but I tell myself it will get better as I keep adding different elements. And if there's a part I still don't like, I can always paint over it with white paint or cover it up with paper scraps. That's what I did with the red dashes. I just didn't like how they looked (dripping blood vibes?), so I covered them up. I also stenciled some more shapes in black using Kate Crane's PS483 stencil. Once again, I stenciled on deli paper so I could move the shapes around, not sure where I wanted them to end up.
I decided to cut the middle section out of these black shapes and glued them onto my card. I glued the cut-out plus sign parts to my card, too, and added some orange and brown paint.
All that was left was a sentiment! I cut that out of Dina Wakley's Ledger Paper 2 set and glued it on top of my card.
