Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Welcome to another Friday! You made it! How are you holding up with this new normal that changes every hour? Our resources change, our mask requirements change, our staying-home changes... I admit, I'm a bit lost and am trying to find my way through every day.
That's where our art comes in. We can still touch people with our art. We can send a hug in the mail. We can use our art to document our thoughts and struggles, or rejoice in even the smallest thing. That's what art does! Isn't it great?
Challenge: Consider how you are finding your way. I'm struggling to keep up the daily practice, and you might be too. Pull out your stencils and use them as a template to find your way to a finished project - cards, tags, art journals, whatever sparks you. Then come share it here!
Remember to use two or more mediums on your card. See a list of suggested materials here.
I used stencils from Dylusions and A Colorful Life designs. I paired them with crackle paste and simple pen tracings. I used pencils for shading, and white gel pen for accents. Now it's YOUR TURN!

I have started mine but did a lot of gloop on my stenciled background so it will have to probably dry all day. I will come back after work or in the morning to finish it up. LOVE this challenge! Thanks for your inspiration!

A new-to-me stencil technique that I've wanted to try for some time. The bonus of working from home today meant that I got as far as leaving the Glossy Accents to dry before I had to go downstairs. The negative is that the sunlight is just at the wrong place for me to be sure I have the colours looking true in the upload, so I may be back to edit it later. I used chalk pastels and Polychromos pencils as my main mediums.
Here’s my card. Hope it meets the mixability requirements - I used dye ink, pigment ink & a chalk writer. I thought the sentiment was appropriate for the current times! LOL!

As usual, I was confused...I thought using stencils was just an option, not the challenge. Fortunately I looked at the gallery and was set to rights. I used three stencils, this is also for the IC, the F4A and the CC. I usually find the way by 1)using colors I love 2) digging through my newer stuff 3) just beginning, making it up as I go. Wisconsin is opening up, little by little, and I'm very nervous.
I was going to do a watercolor layout, when this challenge came up to use a stencil! I didn’t know it, but I had a 12x12 stencil, so used it. Thanks for the inspiration!

Here's my card for the challenge, took me a while but thanks to Jayne inspiring me while we were crafting via facetime yesterday I finally finished it.
I am working toward my "Challenge Catch-Up" goal! This card is for an Alpha friend who needs a Hug! and is the Teapot recipient for the week of 7.5.22.
My card was made with my homemade die-cut stencil from the lacy flower bouquet in Artistic Dies by Stampin' Up. My mediums are: dye-based ink (brushed ink-blending), Copic marker (pearl coloring), fabric (metallic ribbon), computer ink (Chatterbox verse inside/ computer prep), glimmer paper (glittery).
