Welcome to the March Totally Techniques blog hop. We are sharing ideas for using layering stencils which could be homemade using die cuts or using bundles like this Layers of Beauty version that I have created. There are 5 stencils. Start with #1 and work your way through all 5.
After stamping your image gently attach it to a piece of copier paper or grid paper with some low tack tape. Position stencil #1 over the image in the correct place lining it up with the image outlines. You can then mark the position of the stencil starting at the top left with the notch in the stencil. I've added pen marks for the corners of the stencil.
Use blending brushes or sponge daubers to add colour to the revealed sections of the image.
Once completed carefully remove stencil #1 and work through each stencil lining it up with the notch and corner marks. Use the colours that suit your design.
Once completed you can die cut the image or you can use the whole sheet on which it is stamped, however make sure you remove any tape carefully at a 45degree angle to reduce the risk of tearing the card.
As you can see I die cut my image and added some extra die cuts using other dies from the set. Again I added colour using a blending brush and added these extra leaves to my main image. I use a little glue on the front of each stem to then adhere them to the back of the image.
I also added a sneak peek sentiment from a new stamp set coming in May in the new Summer catalogue. It's called A Family Celebration and has mainly the script font and a number of the words in capitals. A great size and fresh looking. I stamped in black ink and cut each word to add to my background of Wood Grain Wonder DSP.
I added Wink of Stella to some of the petals for some shimmer along with a ladybird and clear epoxy dots to the Daisy flower centres. I love a little #simplestamping and colouring in for an easy, effective and relaxing craft session.
Enjoy the hop and gather the tips to create your own versions.
Thanks for popping by.
Happy stamping Zoe x
