I combined the SSS Monday Challenge with the current SSS Flickr Challenge since both had stencils as a feature. I selected the diagonal row of the tic tac toe board (spray, stencil and stamp). I actually used the stencil to emboss the background panel. I went in with my current favorite Distress Ink combo (Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron) over top of the embossed pattern. Thinks to my MISTI, I wasn't afraid to try to stamp the sentiment over the uneven background. I inked a few wood veneer hearts with Peacock Feathers Distress Stain to add a little interest. It's so hard to capture in the picture, but I spritzed the entire card with a perfect pearls mist for some sparkle.
The challenge over at Less is More (simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/) is also all about stencils. That's a hard one to keep CAS. And I never really know the line with CAS... but I'm thinking this would count? The stencil is subtle as a background, and it has the single focal point with the sentiment. Technically the white space isn't white... but it's still pretty simple? Assuming the hearts don't push it over the top?! Why isn't there a simple test of clean and simpleness?! :)
SSS Products Used: Large Moroccan Stencils, Sending and Wishing stamp set.
... which of course, is a wistful but entirely silly title for this photo. Purple finches are not as bad as goldfinches or pine siskins, but they are still quite aggressive. So the real title probably should be "thinking of kicking your butt".
It is still raining...
Happy Monday everyone!
