Hi everyone. Another card for Group of Seven's Stencil Monoprint technique.
I used a lovely stencil called Layered Poinsettia from Tim Holtz. I pressed two colours of Distress Ink pads directly only the stencil (Brushed Corduroy, Candied Apple). Spritzed with water and flipped the wet stencil onto a piece of mixed media paper. Used a paper towel to blot over the stencil to remove the ink that escapes from the open design. I ended up with a piece that has the background of the stencil images coloured. I let it dry thoroughly and then placed the cleaned stencil back over top, lining up the design. I added embossing paste over top, using a palette knife to smooth it out. I removed the stencil right away and washed it off. The piece was left to dry.
I finished be adhering the panel to my white card base and attaching a lovely gold foiled sentiment (gift from a friend).
