Fun with Stencils

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I have two cards whose backgrounds I created with the Dare 2B Artzy Circle Duo Stencils. this set includes two 6" x 6" stencils that can be used together or separately. 

For my first background I used the more open circles stencil alone, with two very different ink colors. The Picket Fence Paper Pouncers would work great with this delicate stencil. I didn't have my paper pouncers at the time I created this background but I plan to try them out next time!

Other Dare 2B Artzy products used on this card were the Jellyfish stamp and die sets, the Mini Hugs Tag dies, and the Rectangle Framelits dies. I also added a few coordinating Feelin' Groovy Enamel Stickers.

For my second stenciled background, I layered both of the Circle Duo stencils, but kept the colors in one color family. I used the dots stencil first, then the open circles, using the same ink colors on each part of the card for a subtle gradation look. 

Additional Dare 2B Artzy products I used were the Seahorses stamps and dies sets and Rectangle Framelits dies.

I love how the Circle stencils, with the colors I chose, have a very "bubbly" feel and are perfect for water scenes!

I hope you will try out these stencils and  enjoy getting Artzy with them!
