I only started to use stencils a few years ago - you wouldn't know it now from the size of my collection, it almost rivals my collection of stamps! I really love the versatility - stencils can be used in a very CAS way, or in the inkiest, messiest of ways. They can be used with inks, pastes, pints, sprays, glitters and gels. This time I've gone for a very CAS look
I sponged distress inks in honey, orange, yellow and brown through the stencil then stamped the bees and sentiment over the honeycomb background and finished off the bees' bodies with a deep yellow pencil. The whole card took about 10 minutes to make, and most of that was choosing the best placement for the stamping.
