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.
