Amp up your stencils!


This Autumn I am starting a Mixed Media feature on the STAMPlorations blog.

I have chosen 4 different techniques that will add oomph/zing to your stencilling. First up the "bump" technique which gives a shadow or highlight impression as in the background of this card:

Adding extra to simple stencilling

It is normally used with acrylic paints, since the technique needs the medium used to be opaque.

Supplies:
Flowers 2 - ARTplorations
Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies
Flutter Zen 1 Layering Dies
Everyday Sentiments

For those who prefer inks I tested an alternative on this card:

Bump technique with inks and pencils

Supplies:
Peeking Dahlias - ARTplorations
Everyday Sentiments

Do check out my step by step on the STAMPlorations! blog

Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the SSS Monday challenges.

    Two lovely creations Christine, I am really drawn to the Sunflowers with their rich colours (check out this morning Allsorts theme).

    I hope you are feeling more yourself this week.

    A great technique - those sunflowers look simply glorious! Sorry to hear about the empty nest syndrome... but yes, start planning that craft space - it will hopefully distract you a bit! Sorry that I've been so utterly hopeless blogging-wise - it's been quite a year (and a bit). Take care.
