A Sweet Message.....

Hello everyone: It's that time for a new challenge over at SHOPPING OUR STASH and our theme this time is STENCILING, something I don't do at all, mainly because I honestly just forget.  I do have 5 stencils and 3 of them are unused, so thanks to the SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge, one of them was used to create this pretty picture which I'll hang in my craft room later.

This stencil is from ZENSPIRATIONS, I didn't find it on the page but she has other really pretty ones at the bottom of the page.

Well, this little wall plaque is just about 5.5x6" and I used Distress Inks to color it, that's all, easy peasy.

So I hope you feel inspired and get your stencils out and join my teammates and me in the SHOPPING OUR STASH gallery.

Thank you for stopping by, your comments always make my day.

Hugs.

Maria.

A Honey of a Day!!

Hello dear blogging friends: It's time for another fun challenge over at SHOPPING OUR STASH and the theme is STENCILS. This fun tools are not often used, at least by me, I have a few now and I used one of them to create this card. I hope it inspires you to come and play along.

This images are from a retired SU set called "Just Buzzin' By" that came out in the Spring-Summer catty in 2009 and it's one of my most favorites, this little bees are adorable and super cute.

I stamped the images on watercolor paper with Stazon black ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils and then, I sponged Hello Honey ink using a honey comb stencil.  I also sponged a bit of Peel Paint distress ink for the grass and stamped a few sprigs with a little stamp from Art Impressions.

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

The sentiment and the little bee are also from the set.

So I hope you go to your Stencil Stash and come and join us at the SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge blog. Don't forget to stop by my teammates blogs to check out their awesome creations.

Thank you for stopping by, I always read every single comment you so kindly leave on my posts, I want you to know I appreciate them more than words can express.

Until next time, happy stamping.

Hugs from Maria.
