two step stencil technique

I have used Masks in several posts previously but this technique uses a two step method.

BASE: Berry Burst CS 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ and a scrap for the
sentiment piece
Lemon Lime Twist scrap 1″ x 4 3/16″
Basic Black CS: 4″ square

Die cut the large flower die from the Artistic Dies in black CS.
Place the black CS negative piece on the Basic White CS piece.
Using a Blending Brush and Lemon Lime Twist, ink the edges where the negative space is for the leaves.

Ink the negative space in the center where the flowers would be with Highland Heather and Berry Burst ink and Blending Brushes.

Remove the Black CS negative die and place the mask from the Four Square Decorative Masks set and add another layer of ink with the same colors. Go over the Lemon Lime Twist over the mask where the areas underneath are Lemon Lime Twist.

Ink a blending brush with Highland Heather and Berry Burst over the areas where the same colors are.

Remove the mask.

Cut the Basic White CS and adhere to the card base.

Adhere the black die cut over the two step technique area.

Emboss the Lemon Lime strip and adhere to the right side of the card.

Stamp the sentiment from Wonderful Thoughts in Berry Burst. Die cut the sentiment with the large banner from the Stylish Shapes.
Cut the banner in half and pop up the sentiment on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add 2023-2025 In Color Dots to the card front.

Love the way this two step stencil technique turned out! Hope you try this technique soon – and create your own art one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
