This week the challenge is:

use your stencils.

 

Sitting at my desk and looking

around what to do next

I thought about trying something

and it becaume this tutorial.

 

BTW: it is EASY!!!

 

This is what you need:

white or cream paper

stencils

versamark inkpad (make sure it is juicy!)

white embossing powder

your favourite colors distressink

water

heat gun (not on photo)

 1. Place your paper underneathe your stencil

and tap with your versamark inkpad

dirtect on your paper.

 2. Remove stencil and sprinkle

white embossing powder on the paper.

3. Heat the embossing powder. 

 4. This is how it looks after heating.

 5. I love working with distress inks,

but you can also use watercolor paint

or ecoline or mediums you like. Give it a try!

 

I used: Mustered Seed, Wild Honey

and picked raspberry

 

 6. You use the ink direct to the paper.

Start with the lightest color.

Don't worry about the embossed part,

it works as a resist.

7. After covering all of the paper this is how

it looks. Now you can do anything with it

for your card or scrapbook page.

 8. As I follow Tim Holtz's blog,

I learned about this trick.

To add some drops of water to

the ink background. It a splatter through

the ink and I like that effect.

9. Now you can dry your paper

completely.

I easy to clean your stencil

with a baby wipe (not the oily one).

 This is the finished card.

Here are some other backgrounds I made

with this stencil technique.

It is a real quick one.

This stencil is from the Concetions kit

that was designed by Michael Strong

in 2010.

The medaillion stamp fits

perfectly with the stencil.

I am looking forward to see your

cards in the Club Scrap Gallery.

 

Have a creative day!
