SSS Cheering For You, Monstera Stencils Take 2

Today I'm sharing a coupe more cards featuring my new Monstera stencil set for Simon Says Stamp.

It's been a while since I used spray with my stencils, so I thought I would pull some out and use then with this stencil set.


This first card was pretty straightforward.  I used Dylusions Ink Sprays in Fresh Lime, Cut Grass, and Vibrant Turquoise.  I did use my heat tool after each spraying.

Once the leaf was dry, I added a bit of gold spatter, and finished things off with the Hello Sunshine sentiment cut twice from white cardstock and once from Matte Gold.  

For the second card, I did a little more playing.  This time I used Pure Sunshine, Postbox Red, and Melted Chocolate Dylusions Ink Sprays.  


To emphasize the transitions between the colors, I used a thin brush and gold watercolor paint to paint in some gold lines.  I wasn't trying to be super precise, just wanted to define the lines a bit more.

I also inked the panel (started with a watercolor panel) with a blend of Allspice and Cappuccino ink, and some water splatters as well as gold splattter.

The Cheering You On sentiment was cut from Matte Gold cardstock and adhered to a dark brown cardstock shadow piece, and the secondary sentiment was embossed in gold.

I love how dynamic and organic these sprayed cards are.  Which is your favorite?
