Stencils can do so much more than basic ink blending… and today I’m sharing 3 creative ways to use a stencil beyond the usual techniques.
In this livestream, we’re creating bold colorful card backgrounds using stencil printing, sprays, ink smooshing, layering, and artistic techniques that give completely different results from the same supplies.
These techniques are perfect for stretching your stencil stash and creating handmade cards with lots of texture, color, and detail.
Today’s cards feature:
✨ Stencil printing techniques
✨ Ink smooshing backgrounds
✨ Distress Spritz layering
✨ Bold colorful stencil effects
One of my favorite things about these techniques is that every background turns out a little different, which makes them incredibly fun to experiment with.
Whether you love bold color, artistic backgrounds, or just want fresh ideas for your stencil stash, I think you’re going to have fun with these techniques.
