WF15 Stencil Surprise Challenge! Winner Announced!
« on: February 18, 2015, 09:42:32 PM »
Stencil Surprise
For this challenge there will be the use of a stencil but not as a stencil but rather as inspiration.  I was looking online at stencils one day and saw this stencil from The Crafters Workshop that I thought was really neat.  So instead of buying the stencil I decided to try using my stamps and a couple stencils to recreate this particular stencil.


 
And so that is the challenge….to use this stencil as a pattern on a card, a tag, or a scrapbooking page.  You can use other stencils, stamps, or draw in parts but the challenge is to recreate this stencil on a card without actually using this stencil.  If you do not have an arrow stamp then use something that is about the same shape and size to go in that area, ect.
 
You can use a plain white piece of card stock, a patterned piece of cardstock, or a painted or inked cardstock for the background.  You can use ink, paint, markers, or any other medium to stamp or draw to complete this challenge.

You can combine this challenge with any other challenge if the other challenge allows combining.

Here is a sample card I made.



Six other samples, each done differently but the same.

Good luck!  And don't forget to have fun.  I had a lot of fun doing this challenge.

Please use WF15StencilSurprise as the first keyword when you post your projects for this challenge in the gallery.  Thank you!

So cool Sadie!  Reminds me of doing card sketches but I like that we are to try to match the stencil more closely....I really like this idea!

Sadie, all your samples are wonderful (and worth the wait to get them to open)!!!  I am going to start setting possible stamps etc in a box like we did for the 2 Pea moodboards so by the end of the week I will have lots of things to work with.  Thanks for the fun challenge!

Well, I made quite a mess, but this really was fun!  Thank you so much for this really unique challenge!

I recommend you make a few backgrounds because once you have your stamps and stencils out, you're going to want to make more!

Cute card, Iring! I agree this would be a good idea to make several backgrounds at once. What a fun idea for a card set!

I have my stamps picked out for this one, I will be working on it today  O0

Oh my gosh, what a wonderful card Iring!  I really like how well the background pink/purple color matches your matt.  Wonderful use of your stamps.  And I agree with making more then one background because after doing one I just wanted to keep going.   LOL! 

Thank you for doing my challenge!

I just lucked out that I found a card base that matched my distress paint and pink pigment ink so well!  Love when that happens!

I had so much fun with this Sadie!  This time I tried to stamp more images with colored ink.   Stampin Up makes a set called "Work of Art" that has what I thought was the perfect sentiment for the inside of my card.  It says "You are a fabulous work of art".

Thanks again for the challenge Sadie!

Iring the second card is just as fun as the first one was.  The stamps all go together and the EP is a fun surprise.  Thank you so much for joining in on this challenge.
