Hello! The Trend challenge this week at Just Us Girls is to make your own stencil. Sue came up with this challenge, and I had such fun with it!
This is my first attempt. I die cut a cover plate and used that as my stencil. Very simple technique. I used a bunch of rainbow colors and blended them onto a piece of white cardstock using the piece I die cut. I wanted to add something to the middle of those designs, so I cut small pieces of white glitter paper and adhered them to the die to get those little pieces. Then I added crystals to the centers of each one. I die cut the sentiment from black cardstock and the shadow from white.
When I was done, I was left with this colorful piece I used as my stencil. I couldn't let it go to waste, so I added it to a white card base and added the sentiment and crystals.
I was trying out different cover plates to use as stencils, so here's another one I created. I die cut the "stencil" from cardstock and used it with blue ink to create this panel. I die cut the sentiment from holographic paper and adhered it to the white shadow. I added silver crystals.
Once again, I had the "stencil" that I couldn't discard, so I added it to a white card base. I wanted to fancy it up a bit, so i die cut these flowers and leaves fro white cardstock. I blended color onto the leaves a two of the flowers and added them to the front. The sentiment is from a foiled sentiment pack, and I added silver crystals.
That's it from me! You can see more from the JUGs design team on the JUGs blog.

Lisa... you, too, were so efficient in the use of your stencil. the rainbow effect is beautiful on both of your cards. On the second card, I might have been tempted to add a second color but then I would never have seen the joy of a twofer! Thanks for the lesson!
Wow, Lisa these are fantastic! Love them all but the first one is my favorite. The colors are delightful!
These are all so amazing! I love the two with the blended inks and cover plate die cut making both versions absolutely gorgeous and those plaids are bold and fabulous, too! You really nailed this challenge.
I am always inspired by your cards, Lisa! The first one is really terrific! The colors are blended so perfectly and the hugs and just because sentiments are so fun! Love the blue ones as well. Enjoy your Sunday!
I'm glad you showed us different coverplates that could be used as stencils, Lisa. And the fact that you got a second card was such a bonus. All four of them a fabulous.
Wow - lots of gorgeousness here Lisa. They all look amazing with the soft colours to the beautiful blue tones. Clever you!
WOW! Four gorgeous cards! Love the rainbow of the first two and the crisp squares of the third and fourth! So awe-mazing!

Well done on the twofer cards love that first one it’s really pretty
What a delightful twofer! I love these soft rainbow colors. It's very clever to use the stencil to create a second card.
