Hi! Happy Saturday! I am back to share some new art using a new lavendar stencil from Darkroom Door.
I started with using the stencil on a few different sheets of mixed media paper. I was using the large stencil and it measures 9" x 12". I like that it can be used on cards, tags, journal pages or scrapbook pages.
Each stenciled background allowed me to create multiple tags and cards. I cut out this tag first and then cut out the background for a card. I had more background leftover but lost some due to experimentation. :)
For the background I did the following:
1. I laid the stencil down on the mixed media paper and sponged over with a mix of dye inks. I then added water to soften the effect. I heat set the main colors and used some extra ink to add the splatter over the background.
2. After it dried I put the stencil back down and added an outline with a watercolor pencil. I then used a waterbrush to soften the outline in places.
My card has a softer feel without the numbers and tags to add texture to the background. I paired the lavender with the beautiful dragonflies and sentiment from the Wings stamp set.
Then I used the stencil with a mix of dye inks and sponged a grey and red ink together to give a soft muted effect.
I sponged the stencil on a larger sheet and cut the section I wanted for this card. I used a new Quote Stamp which is lovely and stamped over in a slightly darker grey color.
Thanks for stopping by and visiting me!
