Anyway I am taking a couple of online classes. First is StampNation's Technique Toolbox Stenciling class and the second is Online card class - watercolor intermediate techniques. I have watch Day 1 and Day 2 videos but no time to practice yet.
I have done a few stencil cards - one was for my CCC partner Cat... She has received it so I can share it now.
I used a stencil that came with my StampNation Friendship kit. I did an ombre inking with Distress ink, moved the stencil and stamped the little hearts from a Hero Arts set in the middle of the stencil. I added Glossy Accents to the hearts. The sentiment is from the same Hero Arts set as the hearts.
My next card is a Ghost stenciling technique.
For this one I used a Penny Black stencil and first layer was white pigment ink. Once it dried, I moved the stencil slightly and then used some dye ink for the second layer. This technique looks best on kraft card stock, but I don't have any at the moment... so used some buttercream card. Added some gold pen around the edge and a new Hero Arts wooden sentiment. A few sequins to finish.
It's still very warm at 10.15 at night and humidity is about 80% - very hot and humid so sleeping is difficult. Hoping for a cooler change in the weather over the weekend. It's a long weekend so I might get some time to try out the watercolour class. Invested in some high quality watercolour paper today and some new brushes.
Thanks for stopping by.
