Have you ever tried stamping or stenciling an entire sheet of cardstock instead of working on individual card panels? In this video, I’m sharing how to create large-scale floral backgrounds using layering stencils and ink blending, and why this technique is such a time-saver for card making.

I’m using the Stencil Art: Majestic Roses Layering Stencil Set (7-in-1) from Altenew to ink blend a full letter-size background, then cutting it down into multiple card panels. This approach is perfect if you love floral designs, relaxing ink blending sessions, and efficient card making.

✨ In this video you’ll see:

How to stencil a full sheet of cardstock
Tips for ink blending with multi-layer stencils
How to use acetate sheets for masking
Color layering for realistic floral designs
Turning one background into multiple cards

Layering stencils are a fantastic way to achieve depth and detail without complicated techniques—and working on a larger scale actually makes the process faster in the end.

If you enjoy card making, ink blending, floral stencils, and background techniques, I hope this inspires you to try stamping on a grand scale.
