Have you been enjoying the different ways stencils have been used during this week's Quietfire Design Blog Hop? I hope you've been inspired and have broken out the stencils. I admit that it is not my go-to technique but I need to play with all my toys, right?
Instead of the usual inking up or texture paste with the stencils, this card utilizes embossing. I taped the stars stencil to a white background and used Versamark ink to create my starry streak. After removing the stencil, I clear embossed the stars and repeated the process again since my card shown here is 5"x7". I then created a night background by inking very heavily with blues and purples Distress Inks. Short explanation: I used my stencils like stamps!
The DAD is a new "Fill 'er Up" capital letter from Quietfire Design I embossed in black on watercolor paper and used the blue, purple, and black Twinkling H2O to fill in the caps for a galaxy look..
I hope you continue to be inspired by all the stenciling projects this week!

I love it! I'm afraid I don't use my stencils near enough - hopefully, following this blog hop, I will be more inspired to do so, tfs. :)
Simple can be so pretty. thanks.
I like how you used the stencil to created the embossed star background. I like the galaxy look on the background and the letters.
THat background is just perfect!
Beautiful background! And I love the galaxy look to the painted letters. This is a great way to show off a stencil technique.
Interesting way to use your stencil. Makes a great background.
What a beautiful card! The Fill Er Up DAD stamp could be used so many ways and that stencil is my favorite.

Such a great Dad card! Love both that both the butterfly and stars are on one stencil!
LOVE!!! the fill in the letters. I have to try it. Thanks for the inspiration.
What a great Dad card! The deep blue is so striking with the stars. Really like this format and technique.
Twinkling H2Os! What a great reminder that everything old can be new again, Diana. This card is nothing short of brilliant-- brilliant color, brilliant layout, brilliant use of that brilliant stencil! A dazzling card that has so much to say for itself. A definite creative motivation.
Ok, I totally admire the genius of putting a galaxy background inside the fill-in letters!! Fab idea!!
Love the colour of this handsome card!
Wow! You make those letters pop off the page even before you die cut them! What dad wouldn't love to open that - any day! I love the Twinkling H20s - so often they are used as pastels it's great to see them BOLD! Thank you.
Love the colors. Great card.
I love Twinkling H2O's! I have to get them out again. This is a just in time great card with Father's Day coming up. The Fill 'er up DAD is awesome.
Great use of the stencils. Sometimes simpler is better. But then the way you did the background and filled the letters is so rich and complex looking. Reminded me to use my Twinkling H2Os more! Amazing Father's Day card.
Really nice card.
Great card for Father's Day! The stencils are all so versatile.
Beautiful starry background and the tiny stars on the bottom too! Love the popped up "DAD". Very striking!
Beautiful! I like the embossed stars and the way you coloured DAD.
This is gorgeous :)
