Happy Birthday Human!


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at CAS Stencil and the theme this time is to use a baby wipe with your stencil.

There are some tutorials on the challenge site to help with this technique, and the design team and guest have some amazing cards to inspire you. I hope you can play along!


I'd been asked to make a robot birthday card and only had this retired set from Stampin Up.
I thought it went well with this stencil from Funky Fossil Designs.

I inked up some card with distress inks in blue, taped the stencil over the top and gently wiped some of the colour away with a baby wipe. (I think a larger stencilled design would work better!)

The robot is stamped in versafine ink, embossed with fine metallic silver powder and coloured with a silver Prismacolour pencil.

I layered the stencilled panel onto some metallic paper, then black to help it to pop against the white.
Then I cut the card front with a stitched rectangle die as I thought it needed a black frame!
Getting to be borderline CAS lol!

I'm linking up to the challenge at 
AAA Birthday where the theme is to use a stencil.


and to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday where the theme is to stamp it.

Your stencil is the perfect design to go with your cute robot Cathy! and blues are the perfect color as well - it's like a blueprint of the inner workings of the robot! xx

This I really like, I think the baby wipe worked so well with the stencil. I love the bold blue with the circuit board and the little robot holding his balloon. Brilliant card Cathy x

The stencil works beautifully with the sweet robot Cathy and the baby wipe has removed the ink well and it all contrasts well against the black card and love the fun sentiment too. x

What a great idea to use a baby wipe with a stencil, I've never thought of that. Thanks for the idea! Great card all in all and I love the almost dreamy effect of your stenciling. Thanks so much for playing at AAA Birthday!
