I saw a new challenge over at Inkspirational this morning which is to make a card in ten minutes or less! I find one of the quickest ways to make a card is to use stencilling. This card took me 8 minutes 56 seconds!
I've been meaning to ink up this new stencil from Skull and Cross Buns for a few weeks so today it received its first inking. You can check out the full range of their stencils, here.
This one creates such a fabulous background design and I chose to do shifted stencilling on this card, I love the shadow effect...
On a panel of kraft cardstock slightly smaller than the card base I first inked through the stencil with white pigment ink. After cleaning the white ink off the stencil I then shifted it up and over slightly and blended with three colours of Distress Oxide ink. I gave it a blast with my heat gun to dry the ink and added a little anti-static powder to the centre so I could stamp and heat emboss the sentiment in white. I then popped the panel up on fun foam. I love the way these Distress Oxides blend on kraft cardstock, they're still very new to me so I'm still experimenting :)
Materials used:
- Kraft cardstock: Neenah - Dessert Storm
- Stencil: Skull and Cross Buns - Decreasing Circles Stencil
- Ink: Hero Arts - Unicorn; Distress Oxide - Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon; VersaMark
- Stamp: Skull and Cross Buns - Congrats Script Font
