Hello! Today I am a part of Justine Hovey’s Video hop celebrating 50K followers on her channel! This is a hop with lots of prizes and many great techniques shared.
Today I am sharing the double stencil technique, which is a favorite of mine for an interesting background. Check out my video below or on YouTube. (Be sure to comment on my video and on all the videos in the hop to enter to win one of multiple $50 gift cards!)
First I will show you a few simple cards to share the technique. This works best when you have one stencil with a larger design, and one stencil with a smaller more detailed design.
First stencil the larger stencil, then place the smaller stencil over the top and use a darker color to stencil on the second one.
This technique is much more difficult to explain in a blog post, so I hope you will go check out the video.
Here are some more examples and cards I made using this technique:
For this one, I stenciled on the plaid design first with a light blue ink, then added the medallion stencil over top and used dark blue and purple inks.
I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!
I hope you will give this technique a try! I really have fun with it. It’s a great way to build up some backgrounds.
Thanks for stopping by!
