Seth Apter has outdone himself with his stencils for StencilGirl Products!  There are so many possibilities in each and every one of them!  What I love about it is I can pick and choose the parts that I want for each project I am doing.  In the video you’ll notice how many colors of paint are on this stencil.  This one has been used a lot!

 

 

 

I’ve got a short video (3 and half minutes) showing how I put this together.  And I was a bit excited that I actually left white space on this…usually it ends up filled with color but not this time!

You can also watch Using Seth Apter’s Stencil on a Card on YouTube.

I wanted to use this arch in my card.  You can see how I made this arch in Washi Tape and A Canvas. I used all sorts of tapes using techniques from my workshop, Transform Your Tape.

I love these numbers and they were so easy to stack to cover the entire arch.
