CAS Stencil Mid Month Reminder

We're halfway through our challenge of Using Foil with your Stencils at CAS Stencil this month set by Barb.
I had fun using this technique and here's my DT card

I used some Brushos on mixed media paper for the background to my stars.
The stencil was a Christmas present!

Used Transfer Gel and a blue Deco Foil, running it through the old laminator.
After foiling I die cut out the stars.

The rest of the stamping on the card was done with silver metallic ink using a Stampin Up set.

Another card for my stash of masculine cards!

The one thing that no one tells you is that sometimes taking a pic to show off the shiny bits is a tad difficult!
So here's a little close up of my stars which are very shiny!!

Look forward to seeing your creations in the gallery!x

Yes, I agree Viv! It is SO hard to capture the bright shine of foil in photos! Your blue foil stars are beautiful on your pretty brusho background and then cut out as stars larger! love that grid stamping on your card base - this does make for a great masculine card! xx

Great masculine design with the Stars and the stenciling. This is a design that works for any age. As my nephews are getting older I appreciate getting more ideas and inspiration for teenage/young adult fitting designs
