FM159 Stencils & Retiring Sets

Hi Everyone!  I am hosting today's Friday Mashup.  The challenge is to play with stencils and a retiring set.

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project using "Stencils".
2. Create a project with a "Retiring Stamp".
3. Or Mash it up and create a project with " a Stencil and a Retiring Stamp".

A stencil can add wonderful depth to a single-layer card, so I started there.  I actually hit three retiring items with this card.

I masked and used the Very Vintage wheel to create the strip, then sponged with warm colors.  I used a bit of Mother of Pearl technique on the Clockworks clock.  And I used retiring set #3, Loving Thoughts.

I created a 1/4" circle stencil with the e-cutter, and applied embossing paste, following by some spritzing.  This card also satisfies Mix-Ability challenge #53, Loving Layers, which asked for three or more mixed media layers, excluding card stock (stamp images, sponged ink, embossing paste, shimmer paint).
