A new month and time for a new challenge at Unstampabelles. This time we are asking you to search out those stencils that have been hiding, unloved and forgotten about!! I must admit I was a bit stuck for this one as I had given all my stencils to my craft group when I left Cyprus. In fact the majority of my craft goodies were left in Cyprus. My thoughts being I would just buy new when I got to the UK as and when I needed anything. Hence no stencils. But my design team came up with some amazing ideas to use instead. E.G die cuts, dies, old wooden letters,small plastic toys, lego pieces, those plastic alphabets we used many years ago when stenciling words.....remember those!! Anything really that you can place randomly on the page and spray over to leave the shape impression when removed.
Here is what I created after playing.
I had some pretty card which had random strokes of colour along the edge. I thought this would be ideal to use as my base. I then sorted through my dies to find a shape and came upon some hexagon stacking dies. I used two in different sizes and placed them in the centre then sprayed some red paint over . I removed the dies and then placed them randomly further over and sprayed again. This was done until the whole of the blank area was covered to make a pretty background.
I finished the card with some die cuts and a silver ribbon.
I hope you'll be inspired to join us. Theres always a gift voucher as a prize and don't forget ....NO STAMPS please. We are UNSTAMPabelles.

Fabulous card, I love the idea of using other things as stencils, and the gorgeous colours you used. I would be stuck on that one and when I was on the back to basis they did the challenge and I inked a embossing folder and used that as a stencil.
