Happy Day

Welcome

Going for some colour today with a card I posted last week over at Splitcoast Stampers.

This technique was very fun to try as I had never done it before and it involved stencils, so I was in!!

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock.  I tend to use that all the time but you could use watercolour paper as well.  

I recently picked up Vicki Boutin's Acrylic Paints that come in a 4 pack set from my local Scrapbook Store and wanted to try them out.  Such great colours and they worked so well for this technique.

So, I squeezed some paint out onto my non-stick craft mat and using a brayer, I covered the paper with colour.  It was all random with no plan in mind.

Next, I took one of the stencils from the Layered Mandala and placed it over the inked bkg.  Then using a baby wipe, I removed the paint through the holes of the stencil to reveal this beautiful pattern.

When it was dry, I placed the piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it with some black eb powder.

I mounted the piece onto some pink cardstock then onto a plain white card base.

I hope you will give this a try.  

Thanks again so much for coming by and taking a look.

I used the bottom one for my card.
