Stencil Me In - Bombshell Hop

Alison has asked that we pull out our stencils for this months Hump Day Hop. I don't use stencils a lot AND I recently took a distress ink class.. so combination time.  You should have arrived from Jodi's spectacular lair. If you have not seen hers yet - then check out the links below to enjoy the entire thing.


The image is Cherry Bomb from Bombshell of course. I printed out the sentiment and the inside says "With a Cherry on Top!"

I colored her with R32, 35, 37 and 39 for her outfit and the cherry with a little YG23, 25 and G17 for the leaves. Her skin is YR000, 00, E11. Her hair is E23, 25, 27, 29.

I used a swirly template from The Crafters Workshop for the background paper.  I pressed the Versamark into the swirly template onto the paper and once completed I clear embossed it. I then distress inked it with grass green.

The flowers I arranged on a separate piece of paper and then cut it out. That way I could put the glue down and get everything the way I wanted it, and then once dry it was easy to place all at once. I think I will use this trick more often.

Now - this hop is very cool. So hip hop along like a happy Easter Bunny... and stop along the way at all the pretty places that have been stenciled for your enjoyment. Your next stop is Susie! If you get lost - the entire list is HERE!

  2. For someone who doesn't use stencils, you obviously need to get more and use them more often since this is fabulous!

    You are officially a genius.

    I never, ever would have thought of that. Brilliant!

    1. Her background is stenciled. Doesn't it look like professionally printed paper? If I didn't know it was a stencil challenge, I may have missed it! :)
