Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today using Ann Butler’s new inks and stencils. If you play around a bit you’ll find lots of ways to use the inked stencil in assorted ways.
Using the new Stars Art Screen, I placed it on the canvas bag then inked it with Evergreen and Canyon Crafter’s Ink using an art dauber.
Hating to waste the left over ink on the stencil, I placed a sheet of white cardstock on top and rolled over it with the ColorBox Art Wheel. I got the negative image on the left as my second generation inking. There was still ink on the stencil so I placed a baby wipe on top of the stencil to pick up the remaining ink. I placed the baby wipe on a piece of white cardstock and gently rubbed to remove the color – the image on the right is the third generation inking.
The second generation inking was used to create this card. You can still see the pattern, and it appears larger because it is the negative image. The other elements on the card are Clearsnap’s Design Adhesives and Designer Foils.
This card uses the third generation inking with the baby wipe. The pattern is less visible, and appears almost water colored. It’s the perfect backdrop for a die cut Christmas tree.
So next time you have ink remaining on your stencils, play around with it and see what else you can create.
Thanks for stopping by today.
