Hey stampers, Anni here!

Today I have a card for you where I have combined some older stamps with a brand new stencil.

Lately I tend to stamp the whole set and colour all the images when I got a little bit of time on my hands. Some weeks ago I showed you a card with the narwhals from this cute set Underwaterlove. For this card I used another image from this set.

• When you create your own background it is easy to match the colours. Sometimes I start with the images, sometimes with the background. It depends on my mood and in which medium I have the biggest variety of colours.
• Here I coloured the images first (with coloured pencils) and then created the background. 
• For the colours of the background I try to choose some that are not the main colours of the focal image. In my opinion you get better contrast and less tone in tone.

THINKING OF YOU....

Hi everyone...

It's Ashlee here with you today and I have a card to share featuring some of the brand new release goodies. Speaking of the new release have you been over to the CAS store to check it all out, what an amazing release it is!!!!

Of course I couldn't wait to get crafty with some of the new products so I picked a new stencil and a stamp set and paired them up...

- Using the Bubble circle stencil I ink blended onto a white cardstock base using Distress Oxide ink Spun sugar and Hickory smoke

- Once I'd finished the ink blending I used a black pen to draw some of the little circles in the stencil

- Stamped, coloured and cut images from the Magnolia stamp set using Copic markers

- Arranged all the magnolia pieces onto my card base using varying thicknesses of foam tape for dimension

- Added a sentiment from the Quill and Ink stamp set and fussy cut it

- Finished it all off with some sequins

Stencils are perfect for creating lovely background for any images, you can use multiple sorts of media with them too!!

Happy crafting everyone....
