Hello! It's Sara, from Much Love, Sara. Today's card features the adorable Cats are Family Stamp Set, along with a scene background created with stencils.
This card began by adhering the English Brick Wall Stencil to a white panel of card stock. Using a Life Changing Blender Brush, I blended Crackling Campfire Distress Oxide Ink through the stencil. Then, using a smaller brush, I added a bit of Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Ink to areas. I used Painter's tape, to reveal a small "strip" of card stock above the stencil, and blended Pumice Stone and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Inks to form the top of the wall. Once I removed the stencil, I added a little Hickory Smoke Ink to the revealed grout lines to add some shading.
I taped off the inked portion, and used the Slim Line Cloud Coverage Stencil, to create the clouds on the top of the card front. I blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink on with a Life Changing Blender Brush, and rotated the stencil on each level to change the pattern.
On white card stock, I stamped two of the cat images from the Cats are Family Stamp Set, using Black Hybrid Ink. I also stamped the sentiment onto the inked panel, with the same ink. Using Prismacolor Pencils, I colored in the cat images, and added some detail to the brick wall created earlier. Then, I used the Cats Are Family Coordinating Dies to cut the cat images out. The cat images were adhered to the card front using foam tape, and then the card front was attached to a white card base made from heavyweight white card stock.
I hope you enjoyed today's card. Find more cards using products from the April Release over on my blog. Have a fantastic Tuesday!
Much Love,
Sara

Hi Picket Fence Friends!
It’s Erica back on the Picket Fence Studios blog, with another dog-themed card. I just love dogs, and the Pet All The Dogs set has so many cuties.
In the February release there was an English Brick Wall stencil added to the repertoire of stencils, and I had some fun with it, creating two backgrounds with a mix of Distress Oxide inks and Life Changing Blender Brushes.
Of course I also coloured up some doggies.. I’m not known for being a crazy dog lady for nothing, you know. For these little guys I used Black Hybrid ink on Copic friendly paper, and then coloured away. Happy like a puppy with a chew bone! Lots of Copics were used and then they were corralled into the diecutting machine with the coordinating die.
I thought it would be irresponsible to let the dogs roam free, so I also stamped up BFF Elise Girl with Black Hybrid ink and coloured her in as well. Luckily, she has a coordinating diecut as well! I also cut out another piece, just out of white card stock to layer her up a little.
A couple of sentiments from the Pet All The Dogs were stamped up directly onto the brick wall panel, that had been trimmed down a little, and then adhered to a white card base.
Well, with that, I’m all done for today but I am crossing my fingers, and my little chicas their paws, that you like the card!
Thanks for stopping by, lots of love and happy crafting from Erica

Stenciled Backgrounds with Judy
by Judy Rozema on Feb 22 2021
Have you had a chance to check out the February release at Picket Fence Studios?
Today I am sharing two cards using two of the new stencils released on the 14th of this month. First up is this colorful Center Flower 6x6 Stencil.
I used two colors of Distress Oxide Ink and my Life Changing Blender Brushes for the ink blended background. I stamped one of the flower groups and a sentiment from the previously released Que Sera Sera to finish the card. I used the Coordinating Die to cut out the flowers after they were Copic colored.
Next up is the English Brick Wall 6x6 Stencil. I used a partial stencil with DOX ink, and added one of the pens from Color Like A Bird Sings (January release) and the new Fancy Congratulations Sentiments (best news ever) for the sentiment. A true CAS!
There is much more to see, so head over to SHOP to see it all and grab yourself a surprise!
