Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Use More Than One Stencil (Kate Crane PS455 and PS483 Stencils)

Welcome to another Monday and another creative challenge!  This week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog theme is "use more than one stencil."  I used two stencils from Kate Crane: PS455 and PS483 to make a card.


I started by watercoloring and painting on a page like so:


While that dried, I used paint and two of Kate Crane's Stencils to make patterns and some focal elements.


I cut a deckled rectangle for my card base using a Mama Elephant die set and kraft cardstock.  I glued a piece of my watercolored paper to it, then I glued on a piece of the red and white stenciled paper.  Next I cut out the plus sign shapes and outlined them in black Sharpie.  I glued them to the front of my card.


To finish it off, I added more paint around the edges, along with some Distress Watercolor pencil scribbles.  I stamped some small dots on with a Seth Apter stamp and added some collaged paper scraps.  I stamped a sentiment from Tim Holtz's Theories set, cut it out and glued it on as a last touch.


Here are the supplies I used that you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
