Hello everyone, Martha Lucia here to share with you the simplest and most beautiful technique to use with your stencils to create your own backgrounds. Today I am using the classic ink pads and the Daisy Stencil, that comes in two layers, one simple and one detailed, that can be used alone or combined to create a variety of effects. Materials:
- Rebecca Baer Daisy Stencil ST-501 Small Size
- Rebecca Baer Mini Masking Tape 3/8"
- Whisper White Card Stock
- Cajun Craze Card Stock
- Classic Ink Daffodil Delight
- Classic Ink Hello Honey
- Classic Ink Wild Wasabi
- Classic Ink Old Olive
- Sponge or Sponge Daubers
- Note Tag Punch
- You Brighten my Day Stamp Set
- Linen Thread
- Dimensionals or foam adhesive squares.
- Take a whisper white layer, secure it on your mat using the Mini Masking Tape and take the simple layer of your stencil. Secure your stencil according the position that you want the image. Start to applying the lighter color of ink using the sponge or daubers. In this part I used the daffodil delight and the wild wasabi colors.
2. Take the darker color and the detailed stencil. Put you stencil in the correct place and secure it with mini masking tape. Apply the ink to create a contrast. Repeat these two steps around the card stock to cover the entire surface.
3. If you necessary, re-size your card stock to create the perfectly-sized layer.
4. On a piece of whisper white card stock stamp your sentiment and cut it using a Note Tag Punch.
5. With linen thread, tie your tag around of your decorated layer. Cut the base of your card from the cajun craze card stock and mount the decorated layer on it using dimensionals or foam adhesive squares.
If you want, you can mix different colors of ink when you use the simple layer of the Daisy Stencil or mask some parts of the stencil when you are applying the color.
