Our next challenge at Try It On Tuesday starts today and the theme is 'USE A STENCIL'.
I have lots of stencils - many of which have never been used - this is one!
Anyway this challenge made me go through the stencil stack and I thought I'd try making something!
I used Sweet Poppy Stencil paste onto a plain black card.
I have a few tubs of paste - but am afraid they are all on the verge of solidifying completely which is my own fault as they never see the light of day.
The gold one was a bit gloopy but I managed to use it for this.
I then had a bit of a struggle as to 'sentiment or not' (and what kind of sentiment do you put on a gloopy part mandala anyway?😔) - then I remembered this one which is a kind of 'use for anything' kind of greeting!
Simply gold heat embossed and added a couple of sequins before running some gold ink round the edge.
.
Hope you will join us this challenge - lots of lovely inspiration if you need it from the DT over on the challenge blog too. Happy Stencilling!

A striking use of gold paste and a stencil. I know just what you mean in your second paragraph - how is it that 'must-haves' seem to turn into 'what am I going to do with this?' as soon as they arrive 🙄🙄.
Love your take on this challenge Viv very eye catching colours

I have a few stencils with lack of ideas too!Love the gold paste and embossing against the black-very striking.

Love the gold on black. It doesn't look a bit gloppy to me.
so striking in black and gold, great way to use the mandala stencil xx
A beautiful and elegant card Viv, that stencil must have been waiting to be used for this theme.

That gold is stunning on the black background Viv. This is such a beautiful card. Hugs Erika
You’ve found the perfect use for your Mandela stencil Viv. The gold paste on black is so striking.
You can make your own paste with talc, PVA glue and some acrylic paint in any colour you choose. Very cheap & easy to make and it stores well in an old jar you would have lobbed in your recycling bin. Xxx
Your gloopy gold design from the heart is stunning, Viva! I'm very impressed that your stenciling with the paste is so neat and clean on the striking black! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Dolly
Fabulous effect. The gold on black is so elegant.
The gold looks fabulous on the black Viv, know what you mane about the right sentiment, but this one works so well.

Wow, what a stunning card! The stencilling is the star of the show and I love the gold on black colour palette - so beautiful 😊. Sorry that I'm so late, I was in Venice when the post went live and with being away from the hotel all day I forgot to pop by. Hugs, Jo x
