I'm always delighted when I see an easy technique to try, and this week's Make It Monday #253: Reverse Stenciling is very easy to do. Betsy Veldman shows us how to ink up stencils with a brayer and transfer the image to cardstock.
I selected one of my Modern Backgrounds stencils and applied Hawaiian Shores and Green Parakeet inks with a brayer. I spritzed it with a bit of water, flipped it over and rubbed it onto white cardstock, filling about 3/4 of the paper. It really does have a nice, watercolor effect!
The balloon is die-cut three times in Green Parakeet cardstock and stacked together. I did the same for the balloon string in white cardstock. Celebrate is stamped in black ink. I placed the panel on a Hawaiian Shores cardstock card base, leaving a bit of the cardstock showing on the right. A bunch of sequins finished the card.
