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!

Karen, this is gorgeous! You definitely know how to splatter that acrylic paint just perfectly. I sure wish you could help me figure that out myself... I always seem to get globs and ruin my project! LOL

What a pretty card Karen and the masking and stencilling is a great technique and what a pretty stencil to use, and also love the collage dragonfly placed in the middle of the two semi circular stencilled areas. A wonderful card! x
