Bubbling Positivity

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the 10th of the month so time for the new challenge at Let's Squash It!  This month we want you to use stencils with your embossing folders.  I love stencils for giving quick visual impact, but they aren't one of my go to craft items usually.  I was very keen to see Jo's Technique Time post and she didn't disappoint.  Many suggestions and ideas on how to combine these two elements, so be sure to check that out if Mr Mojo is feeling a little sluggish.  Here's the card I came up with.

I used Sizzix Smile embossing folder, Stamplorations Bubble Dance stencil and a cute Simon Says Stamp Chillin' Frenchies stamp.

 

I used pale blue card and lightly blended Cracked Sapphire distress ink through the stencil.  I cut the panel with a Stitched die and edged with blue ink.

I embossed with the Smile embossing folder and smeared the embossed words with the same Chipped Sapphire ink.

I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the dog and added it for additional smiles.


 

Thanks for dropping by.  Grab your stencils and embossing folders and join the Let's Squash It! fun  See you there.  Hugz
