Melissa Phillips uses die cuts as stencils in this weeks MIM challenge. Using die cuts as stencils and applying ink with a sponge blending tool creates a beautiful softness that is characteristic to Melissa's style. I used Lawn Fawn's Stitched Snowflakes for my stencil shapes since I have not received my October order from PTI yet (was planning to use What the Doodle Snowflakes). I paired two PTI stamp sets for the rest of the card drawing my inspiration from a sample from the Christmas Tree Change Up stamp set (looks like one by Melissa too). Love that little polar bear from Warmest Wishes! TFL!
DETAILS:
Stamps/Dies - PTI Warmest Wishes, Christmas Tree Change Up (stamps and box die); Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflakes and Stitched Hillside Borders.
PTI Dye Inks: Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky.
Misc - PTI Linen cardstock; embossing powders (Zing Gold Glitter & JudiKins White Diamond/black); natural flax linen; clear sequins
