Going green

I have been playing in my craftroom this weekend and decided to have some fun using some stencils that I had not used before, and to combine a few fun challenges.


I started by selecting a corner of the Modern Triangles stencil by Neat & Tangled and taping it down onto my cardstock and craft mat using blue painter's tape. I selected a few Prismacolors in three shades of green to selectively colour in the open areas. I first did a light round where the up and down pencil strokes were clearly visible, but then decided to go over everything a second time to add more colour and to lightly smooth out the colouring. Green is not my go to colour (I gravitate more towards the teals and blues), but I love how this turned out. Colouring this way was great fun too, so I may create a few more in different colours soon.

I'm linking up my card at:

LIM - #367 Stencils (one-layer card)


AAA Cards - #111 Use only one third


The Card Concept - #88 Monochromatic green
(I created a clean and graphic card)


CAS-ual Fridays - #195 Going green


Seize the Birthday - Anything birthday goes 
(no toppings for me)

    I absolutely love how this turned out too - I've done some pencil colouring with a stencil before and it gives such a beautiful earthy look with the pencil strokes and ordered because it's a stencil. Just love it's simplicity and I love the green. xx

    Hoi zus, de groenen zijn mijn kleuren en de blauwe de jouwe, toch?
    Ik vind het zo leuk te zien dat we ook prachtige kleurenpaletten kunnen maken met deze scharkeringen aan kleuren. Zeer inventief.
    Supermooi gedaan. Top idee. Mooie stencil, ook.
    En ik duim voor je dat Darnell gelijk krijgt en het een mooie bonus oplevert. 😘 Ineke

    This card - in addition to being wonderful! - practically screams SUMMER at me! It says lemon and lime and if it weren't for the sub-zero temperatures here, I'd be ready for a mojito :-)
    Cheers, Barbara

    Hi, love how you have used the 1/3rd space at an angle for an amazing CAS design and the results with the stencil. Thank you for playing along with us at AAA Cards Challenge. - Hugs Bharati
