More July Release Fun with Judy Rozema
by Judy Rozema on Jul 27 2020
The July release has some COOL products - yep! Christmas and Fall goodies so you have plenty of time to work on those cards for the cooler months.
Today I am sharing three cards for today's post; two are made to highlight the new stencils, and one is with a new stamp.
The first is a beautiful floral stencil called SHADING FLOWER STENCIL.
I used my Wendy Vecchi Make Art Stay-tion to hold the stencil on my cardstock, and then used Broken China and Peeled Paint DOX inks to color my flowers and leaves. I added some silver Krenik thread and sequins from the Spiked Ocean Water and Gin and Tonic mixes for embellishments and sparkle! The sentiment is from the new MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR stamp set, stamped with BLACK HYBRID ink.
My next card shows how easy it is to increase the 4x4 size of AUTUMN HARVEST COLLAGE, and line up the images beautifully in the repeating pattern using the MISTI.
The background and middle strip are made with the smooshed ink technique, using Dusty Concord and Twisted Citron DOX inks. Once that was dry, I stamped the background stamp four times (twice vertically and twice horizontally) to fill out the width and height of my card panel. I used VersaFine Clair Morning Mist - a little gray/blue ink combo. I finished off the card with a simple gold metallic thread from Krenik.
My final card today moves to Christmas with the FLOWER OF LIFE STENCIL. I again used my Wendy Vecchi Stay-tion (it makes stenciling SO much faster!) to hold my stencil in place. Festive Berries DOX was my color of choice here. I wanted to give the illusion of red poinsettias and/or Christmas plaid by fading out the edges. My sentiment is from the new BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE stamp set, stamped in BLACK HYBRID ink. I added clear rhinestones in the center of each flower.
It's a simply fabulous release, so head over to see it all! There is so MUCH MORE to check out! Shop {HERE} or click one of the links below!

The new release is amazing. I hope you checked out all the new products and what the DT created with all the goodness yesterday. You can find all the NEW RELEASE HERE! It was full of fall and Christmas stamps but I wanted to ink up this new Shading Flower Stencil. It's a beautiful image and makes beautiful cards. I have two cards, one with bright cheerful colors and another one monochromatic .
The first one I created with colors from this week's Color Throwdown Challenge. I inked up the flower with Salty Ocean, Dried Marigold, and Mowed Lawn Distress inks. I used post-it notes to cover up areas I didn't want to transfer other colors to. The Life Changing Blender Brushes make the ink blending easy and quick. Once the ink was dry, I added a sentiment from More Fancy Sentiments with Intense Black Ink.
I added some gold splatter with Golden Rose Paper Glaze. I added a bit of water to thin it out and then flicked it on to my card base with a paint brush. I finished it off with a little more shimmer thanks to Spiced Cider Sequin Mix.
I didn't want to put this Shading Flower Stencil away, just yet. I wanted to create another card, this time in a monochromatic color scheme. I used Speckled Egg and lightly added in touched of Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink. I kept th layout the same but wanted to show how easy you can switch up a card with color.
I used a different sentiment from More Fancy Sentiments and used sequins from Martini Mix Sequins.
Thanks for stopping by today. Grab a Life Changing Blender Brush and a Stencil and have some fun.
