Tropical stenciling

Hello my friends!  I'm beginning to dream of fall but I'm here with another tropical inspired project using Scrappy Tails Crafts.  Let's dive right in!

I started by cutting a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock into an 8 1/4" x 3 1/4" panel.  I pulled out the three stencils from the last Scrappy Tails release.  Aztec, Zig Zag and Chevron.  I then picked out some bright inks and blending brushes.  I eyeballed 3 different sections on the panel and separated them with 1/2" tape.

Next I cut three leaves from dark grey cardstock using the Tropical Leaves dies.  I adhered them inside each stenciled panel.

Then I added a generous amount of black splatters.  While the splatters were drying I worked on the sentiment.  The sentiment is from the Tropical Birds set.  I stamped it on a scrap of Bristol Smooth cardstock so my whites would be the same color.  I used my Mini Misti to stamp it first with a dark grey ink.  Then I stamped it with Versamark ink.  I sprinkled on clear embossing powder and melted with a heat tool.  The final step was to use the coordinating die to cut it out.  I did add some foam tape to it before adding it to the panel.

After that I used liquid glue to add the panel to a dark grey card base.  I did go back and add several dots with Midnight Sky Nuvo glitter drops.

Since I had so much fun making the slimline version, I wanted to try it in an A2 size.  I mean, why not!

On this panel I actually used skinny white cardstock strips to separate the stenciled panels.

And here they are together.

I loved using more than one stencil on my cards!  Which one of these cards is your favorite?  I totally can't choose.

Be on the lookout for the next Scrappy Tails release called Harvest Blessings.  It's coming on August 12th!  You're going to love it!

Toodles!
