STAMPlorations stencils blog hop

Hello and if you are a first time visitor here to Jane's Journal a very warm welcome. Today I am taking part in the STAMPlorations new stencils blog hop.

This is to celebrate the release of 8 brand new stencils by Sanna Lippert Designs. 

You can see these fab new stencils here

There will be 2 winners, randomly selected from comments left on all the participating designers.

One person win a $20 gift voucher to spend at the web site shop

Two winners can select their 3 fave stencils from the new range.

All the details for the hop are here 

I chose to work with Senicio 1

and Christmas trees 1

and I have made 2 cards today to showcase these awesome new stencils.

First up is my card using Senicio

 I used black card and Candied apple distress oxide ink through the stencil

sprinkled on some embossing powder and heated

 and got this cool effect

 I used it as a background for the card below using the Trendy birds 2 stamp set

here is a close up of the background

For my second card I brayered a Christmas plaid background using paints

and then added glitter pastes through the stencil.

A sentiment from the Christmas reindeer completed a simple Christmas card to show off this awesome stencil.

I would like to enter my card (or both if appropriate) into the following challenges;

Simon says stamp Wednesday anything goes
Winter wonderland 1/3 red and green
Fashionable stamping nature
Rudolph days challenge November
