Loll's Message
Stencil Monoprint is my favourite stencil technique.
You start by inking the stencil, spritzing with water or shimmer spray.
You turn it over onto a clean piece of card that can take water, pressing down with a paper towel to absorb any excess ink.

This gives you a negative image of your stencil.
Instead of colouring the design or image on a stencil, you are colouring the background.
I hope you enjoy this technique as much as I do.


Using Stencil Monoprint, Tracing, Stamping, Watercoloring and Die Cutting.

I used Loll's technique above and inked the borrowed retired stencil from a friend 
 with Lindy's  Magicals.  Sorry I could not get a good photo of the pretty shine.
Blotted the ink a bit with a paper towel.  Then when dry replaced stencil
and traced with Staedler black permanent ink pen.

which gives a nice subtle finished beveled edge.
Stamped the SU "Forever Fern" sentiment, added sequins and Done!
Quick Clean and Simple technique and card for my dear 91 year old friend:-)

Love and Hugs..

  8. Nancy, these are very fresh and pretty colors with your leaf stencil. Hoping to order some Lindy's Magicals today. The outlining always adds an extra dimension to stencil use, too. I remember your challenge and really must try it again. I know Daisy will smile at her card!

The black outlines of the leaves adds definition, and the sequins nicely tie with the outlines and the sentiment. Your dear friend, Daisy, will love the card. :-) Hugs.. Hideko
