Stencil Class Day 4

Today is the last day to my online stencil card class. Today’s assignment was to use any of the techniques we learn and create a card. I choose to use the free stencil that was given to us. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the stencil. Then I use sponge daubers to apply the ink for each of the flowers. Tell me what you think?

I really had a great time in this class. I learned a lot about stenciling. I will continue to use stenciling more on my cards.

Stencil Class Day 3

Posted in January 2014, Online Class Homework by Kreative Kymona

Today is the third day of my stencil class. There is only one more day left and I’ve learned a lot in such a short time. Today’s card, I used the stencil and covered it with paste to create the wavy textured surface. I added glitter to the wet paste to give the stenciled look a little shimmer. I also embossed the greeting. It was fun and really messy!

Let me know what you think of this look.

Stenciled Class Day 2- Stenciled Card

Posted in January 2014, Online Class Homework by Kreative Kymona

So here is my stenciled card as promised. I used a heart stencil and colored pencils and colored each heart in with different colors randomly. I loved how this card came out. The hearts are much smaller. I was able to double the amount of hearts on my card. This was fun to make because I went back to the basics, Coloring.

All of the supplies are the same except the heart stencil and the color pencils.

Let me know which one of my cards you like best.

Stencil Class Day 2

Posted in January 2014, Online Class Homework by Kreative Kymona

So today is day 2 of my 4 day stencil class. I’m learning a lot. Today’s class we learned different techniques on how to use stencils. I tried a couple of them and didn’t like the results so I’m going to keep trying until I get it right. There was one technique that was easy enough not to mess up. Guess what that technique is? It’s so simple, you will laugh. Have you guessed it yet? Well here is the answer, its COLORING. Yes, simple children’s play, Coloring with colored pencils!! How could I mess that up?

The stencil used to make that card, I didn’t have. I’m going to get that stencil today, but in the meantime, I had a heart stamp that would do just fine. So, I made a card with the heart stamp from the ” Perfect Pennants” stamp set. I love how the card came out. The heart stamp is so full and small to me. I want to stamp it everywhere! I cant wait to see how it will look once I stencil the hearts. Take a look at the stamped card.

How precious!! I used the new in-colors ink pads to create the color hearts. Aren’t those colors yummy! Tell me what you think of my stamped image.

Stencil Class Day 1

Posted in January 2014, Online Class Homework by Kreative Kymona

I’m so excited about starting my new Stencil Class. I’ve never stenciled before and wanted to try it on some of my cards. Take a look at my first card. Don’t laugh, its a start. No matter how much tape I used to keep the stencil in place it just wouldn’t cooperate with me. Tomorrow’s card should be better then today’s.

Let me know what you think of my first try at stenciling!

Posted in January 2014 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I changed the look of my blog. I wanted a more chic and elegant look. What do you think? I’m also on Pinterest now! I’m really excited about that. I’m working on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. As soon as those sites are up, I will let you know. You will also see the icons on the top right hand side of this blog. I’m truly excited about my new endeavors. Wish me luck.

I will post my next card in a few hours. I held my fourth workshop at work last week and wanted to share with all of you the outcome of that workshop. The ladies gave their blessing.

Please let me know what you think of my new blog look in the comment section below.
