Flutter

Good Morning.

Today, I have the pleasure of hosting the TLC; Technique Lovers Challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers.  I like to present simple challenges that are accessible to all and I thought this one would be fun and pretty easy to do.

I'm calling it Masked Stencilling.

So onto my card details.

I love the look stencilling gives to a card and it is so simple to add interest and designs using them.

I began by cutting out a semi-circle to fit on my card front from some scrap paper and secured that to my card front.  Next, I placed the Fleur Grillwork stencil from A Colorful Life Designs, over the masked area and rubbed on some Cracked Pistachio DOX ink.

I then removed the mask and re-positioned it over the bottom area and repeated the inking.

I love the look this stencil gives...very regal looking.

When that was dry, I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the Dragonfly.

To add some extra interest, I splattered with some black acrylic paint.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

I hope you get a chance to try this technique out!
