Stenciling with Taylored Expressions!

I spend most of my card-making time coloring images with my Copics.   Thanks to Taylored Expressions, I might be expanding my focus!!  I attended the TE March Stamp Joy Event and some of the cards involved stenciling. I have discovered a new love!!  Lori Craig's class helped with my aversion to the stark lines in stenciled images during her card class.  Heather Nichols (the "queen" of kraft-colored paper) talked about bringing white into the card during her class.  Those were just two fun tips I learned!!

This card set features many TE products.  The flowers are from In the Garden Triple Slim Layering Stencil.  When finished, you have three card fronts!! (Love it!). The "thanks" sentiment is from Mini Slim Botanical Sentiments and the lines are one of the stamps included in Sketchbook Bouquet; Signature Sentiments is where you will find the Mother's Day sentiment; and the "Hey" is a free die with a purchase, and the strip underneath is from Simple Strips in Reverse.  I finished off the three cards with TE's Drip Drops.  While I was stenciling last night, I made a couple other sets of cards with different colors.  They still need to be finished.  I am going back to work on seeing if I can create Christmas cards with this stencil.  I can already see turning this into fall colors!! I love playing like this!!  Thanks for stopping by my blog.  

In kindness, Cathy
