Layering Stencils Technique

Welcome to the March TOTALLY TECHNIQUES BLOG HOP! We are featuring a LAYERING STENCILS TECHNIQUE this month. I chose the PETALS OF BEAUTY and WORDS OF BEAUTY bundle to create some very pretty cards! You’ll find a video tutorial here:

It’s always fun to think outside the box when it opens up a whole new opportunity! Looking at your dies a little differently and thinking about which ones would make a great stencil definitely opens up LOTS of opportunities. I pulled out my PETALS OF BEAUTY bundle and thought the large leaf die was perfect for this technique challenge. I die cut it on printer weight paper and used it with a BLENDING BRUSH to stencil leaves on my card front.

And then layers some die cut flowers on top for this pretty card:

Dimensions:

• Brushed with Beauty DSP – 11″ x 4 1/4″ scored (lightly) at 5 1/2, 3/4″ x 3 3/4″
• Early Espresso – 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ (front), 4″ x 5 1/4″ (inside), scrap
• Basic White – 3 3/4″ x 5″, scrap

Here’s a close up that really shows the WINK OF STELLA splatter and the detail on the stenciling – it looks somewhat variegated right?

Thanks for checking out my card today – I hope you will give this technique a try. WIN THIS CARD: Let me know in the comments if you like the Designer Series Paper for a card base – I’ll do a drawing an send it to one of you!
