Flowering Dahlia

Welcome

Stencils....they are such a great tool to use to create.  You can use them in many different ways to create.  The most popular way to use them is to rub over them with a stencil or a blending tool but I wanted to try and give the stencilled image a different look, so here's what I did.

I am using a 2 part stencil which means there are 2 separate stencils.  You start with the first, remove it, then overlay the second to add the details.  

I began with the Altenew Dahlia stencil A.  To give it a unique look, I pressed a baby wipe onto my DOX ink pad, then pressed that through the opening of my stencil.  I love the grainy look it gives.

When I was happy with the first inking, I removed Stencil A and overlaid Stencil B to add the details using some Black Soot DOX ink.

I splattered the whole piece with some diluted black acrylic paint and set it aside.

Using some black cardstock, I die cut the Follow Your Heart die from Penny Black 3 times and glued them together.  I glued that over my stencilled background and added some black gems.
I simply added it to a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
