OH and many THANKS

you make me HAPPY...
you guys are THE BEST!
and if you would
that would be super nice...
thanks again!
today I have 5 new stencils to show...
and an extra at the bottom of the post...
stencil #1...
create a flower...
this cutie has interchangeable stems/leaves & flowers...
use them together...
or alone...
or pair them with an art part...
they are mixable/matchable with other stencils too...
they are so easy to use with multiple colors,
because they are separate...
the openings allow stamps to be used thru the stencils for endless combinations of stamps & flowers...
or embossing pastes...
these are perfectly sized for cards or an art journal page...
like this...
#2 is a basic I keep reaching for...
it's the honeycomb...
it a great background & an excellent "filler" anytime you need a little something extra in the background...
I'm thrilled with this guy...
below it's paired with the new wreathe stencil I showed yesterday...
the art parts word is a perfect fit...
stencil #3...
3 flourishes...
another that I love because it has 3 size choices...
it's perfect for so many projects...
ink or add embossing paste thru the stencil...
or just trace the outline & then doodle inside the lines...
I'll use this one a lot...
stencil #4...
artful words...
I have used these on art journal pages and mixed media pieces...
I LOVE the irregular font...
with 15 words to choose from...
yippee...
for some reason...
CHARMING
is my new favorite word...
I just find it...
simply...
you got it...
charming!
and the final stencil...
#5...
I knew this would be a favorite,
but I had no clue that I would love it so much...
the 2 fancy flowers stencil
is over the moon FUN...
below, I used it with some distress inks...
and some masking...
it's a completely flat art journal page...
but the layering/masking really makes it look dimensional...
can you see how much fun we'll have with this one?
keep it simple & use just one beautiful flower to make a statement...
or add some leaves...
or a stem from the 3 fresh flowers stencil...
or some leaves with the lovely leaves stencil...
or have a blast & fill a whole page...
like I did...
and speaking of fun...
I LOVE distress & archival inks with stencils...
but to create added texture,
my new embossing paste totally ROCKS...
it's translucent paste...
be still my heart...
I AM in LOVE!
if you have the black & white embossing pastes,
you know that they are a matte finish & they are kind of spongy when dry...
the gold & silver pastes are much firmer...
this translucent paste dries with a very hard solid surface...
and it does have some shine...
you can "gently" heat it with the heat tool to speed up the drying time, if you are like me...
with ZERO patience...
you can tint it with lots of Ranger products...
you can easily stamp over it with archivals...
Ted has this is IN STOCK and ready to ship!
look how cute...
I used it with the stencil after I had added my color & stamped thru the stencil...
I used the translucent paste only over the flower to really make it stand out...
this new paste LOVES tim's distress products A LOT...
I have 3 of my very first experiments in the photo below...
the sample on the left is the translucent paste, applied thru the "yikes stripes" stencil,
then I sprayed the distress stains while the paste was wet...
(I put the stains into misters)
I blasted it with the heat tool to cook the colors into the paste & create this cool textured/mottled background...
the middle example is the translucent paste
thru the "yikes stripes" stencil (on a black tag),
dried, then lightly & randomly painted with distress paints...
the sample on the right is the translucent paste
thru the "polka dotty" stencil,
dried & then completely painted over with distress paints...
you might not want to try this...
what I *thought* would be a 20 minute EXPERIMENT, turned into a whole AFTERNOON of play...
and new technique discoveries...
I was so busy experimenting that I couldn't possibly cook dinner...
oh darn...
you have been warned! lol...
it is totally addicting & so many products you already have will work with this new paste...
it's completely flexible, when dry & it does not flake off or crack...
it's pure MAGIC!
here's my samples...
that's it for "CHA summer 13"...
volume 2...
thanks for visiting...
tomorrow...
volume 3!
ok...
you've seen all 10 of my new stencils...
I'm wondering...
which is your MOST favorite?
ready...
set...
go!
talk to me while I...
make (more CHA) art!
wendy

Love the tree, build a flower and fancy flower. Hmmmm, do you see a theme here? Lol. The new embossing paste looks fantastic. Waiting patiently, not, for round 3. Thanks for the inspiration.
I just can't decide which stencil is my fave because I simply in love with ALL of them!!! And the translucent paste looks like it could take the place of Glossy Accents when you have the need to make something with a bit of a shine to it. I'm doing a super stencil dance and can NOT wait for these to be shipping! You've rocked my world, Wendy!
Love all of the stencils! That big flower looks like it will be fun to play with. Can't wait to get the new paste!

Can't wait to get my hands on the translucent paste!! I love all the stencils!!! Not enough exclamation points to describe how I feel about them!
I love your art! The flourish and fancy flowers stencils are my favorites. I hope to see more tutorials and videos in the future. Sometimes, I would like to make something like you do but I would need more information to learn your techniques :-)
Love the stencils and especially the transparent embossing paste. Can't wait to get my hands on some.

Giddy, Wendy, the new stencils are AMAZING! I adore ALL of the flower stencils...right up my alley and I can hardly wait to get my hands on the new paste...SWOON!
A favourite! OMG, I love the flower and stem because it would be so versatile but then I love the honeycomb too - but I think it still has to be the barcode words, if I was pushed to choose.... can't wait to get my hands on the new paste though too. You never fail to impress....
I love the swirls and the honeycomb the best. Both have lots of applications.

Fancy Flowers, oh and the Tree, oh and the words, oh the paste, oh damn cannot pick just one favourite lol. Love them all. Tracy x
So hard to chose a favorite! I'll go with the honeycomb, today! I must have the translucent pasted.
Okay, the honeycomb & flourish stencils join the tree from yesterday at the top of my wish list. And I love the idea of clear embossing paste.
Love all the stencils, it will be hard to choose. Roll on tomorrow for my favorite crafting items...
Fun! I really like the flourishes and am completely intrigued by the new, and no doubt charming (insert big grin), embossing paste!

Hi I love the tree, and the flourishes, but most of all the embossing paste.
thank you so much Rachel

Fancy Flowers, hands down! Love, love lots of them, but that one really jumps out at me.
The fancy flowers stencil is to die for! Love it!
Oh my Mrs V! I know you asked us to say our favourite stencils but really how can I until I've said how much I NEED, yes NEED, that new Embossing Paste! How incredibly awesome! Oh the possibilities!!!

Hi Wendy, Well all your new stencils are awesome! However, my mostest favorite is the 2 fancy flowers stencil. I can't wait to get my hands on it & have a play.
Gorgeous stencils one and all! If I have to pick a favorite it would be Large Lovely Flower. That'll be my first purchase, followed by Two Fancy Flowers. I think I may be influenced by your "charming" samples! No one does flowers like you, Wendy.
awesome stencils AGAIN!!! Love the stenciling paste. Can't wait till all the new stencils are in the stores. Must have this year!
loving the words and flourish stencils, and can't wait to get the transparent embossing paste, much fun to be had.
I think the tree & leaves is my favorite followed closely by the honeycomb. That translucent embossing paste is on the top of my wish list.
Oh Wendy oh Wendy....I'm so in love with the clear paste! The stencils too are grand! BRILLIANT design work! Can't wait to see all your samples!

Wendy - I looks like you are going to have so many new and fabulous products to show us. Thanks for all of your hard work in putting such lovely additions to our stamping rooms.
What a great job on the different stencils. I do have to say that I love the artful words...I would love to play with that one! Well, play with all of them!
The stencils are all fabulous. If
I had to pick one it would be the
honeycomb. I can't wait to get my
hands on it and start playing.
The stencils are amazing and I love the 2Fancy flower and Honecomb, but the 3 Flourishes just rock my socks!
My favorite is the tree - so many possibilities. Pair that with the translucent paste and it's a beautiful thing!
I love all the new stencils!!!! The fancy flower is to die for!!!! And the translucent paste... can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!
I love all your stencils! My favorite is the honeycomb, flourish and the flower. Can't wait to get some.

Too bad those are sooo far away. You guys have the good stuff, in many parts of Europe it's a little bit to find it.
Today my favorite one is the flourishes followed closely by the artful words.
Impossible to pick a favorite; I love ALL of the flower stencils, and I am not even a flower person! But honestly, that clear embossing paste is making my heart beat faster. Looking forward to hours of experimenting with it.
Gotta have them all, but my two favorites are Artful Words and The Layered Tree. And, I LOVE the sample of the blue flower with the clear paste. Can't wait to try it myself!
Wendy - I love them all! My favorite, if I have to pick would be "From the Garden" so many possibilities. Enjoying the sneak peaks.
Oh Wendy you are going to bankrupt me. I have to have them all. My fave is the honeycomb.....off to make art...xx
SOOO hard to choose...perhaps ARTFUL WORDS? I love them all. Flourishes also really caught my eye.
Impossible to pick just one fav! Today, I really like the 2 fancy flowers and the honeycomb stencils. Can't wait to try your new embossing paste.
I can't wait to try your new background stamps on the Gelli Plates I received in the mail yesterday.
The honeycomb stencil is lovely - as are the flourish and the 2 large flowers. I think that the tree from yesterday is my very favourite so far though.
I love all your new stencils but my favorite is the barcode one. Johanne L.
Love the new paste! So many wonderful possibilities. My favorite new stencil is the flourishes. I do not know what it is about flourishes, but I love them! The flower stencil is also gorgeous. I love how you used it with the beautiful colors. Thank you for sharing your lovely new creations with us! Have a great weekend!
Love the new paste! And the new stencils---- wow
I love the honeycomb stencil - but I love them all!
Wendy....Your new stencils....LOVE! Instant LOVE!! The new translucent embossing paste...LOVE EVEN MORE!!! :) The ideas are already spinning of how to use that little gem! Can't wait to get my hands on some. <3 Candy
Not only am I in love with your new stencil's Wendy, I am also in love with your counter-part Tim's stencils. I just love how all of your products work so well with one another. There is such a sweet, homey feeling to all of your products. That's a compliment by the way. Your continued ideas for new products just amazes me every CHA show. It's as if the more products you come up with, the more and more creative you get and flourish. I've said it before, but I am truly in awe of you and your artistic abilities. Congrats on all the new goodies!
Can you tint the clear emb paste with distress reinkers? And do the paler colours work or do you need to use the more vibrant colours?
Many thanks
