Make Your Own Stencil with the Bubbles on the Border Die!
Hi, everyone!
Bev here with a brand new card making tutorial for you! Today, I'm going to show you how to make a stencil with the Bubbles on the Border crafting die to create one really cute card!
This technique is easy and fun. You are going to love it. Let's get started!
First, cut out the mask or stencil with the Bubbles on the Border crafting die. I used plain cardstock. (If you want to make more than one card, consider using stencil material instead.) Make as many die cuts as you want to create an interesting pattern for your stencil.
Now use Distress Oxide Inks (or regular Distress Inks) to sponge ink onto cardstock. This panel will serve as your background paper. I used Mermaid Lagoon and Faded Jeans on my background paper.
Temporarily adhere your stencil or mask to the background paper. I used Washi tape.
Get out a fine-mist spray bottle and fill it with water. Also get out some paper towels.
Spray water onto your masked, background paper. If you only want to remove a little color, don’t use much water. To remove more color, add more water.
Place a paper towel over the project and soak up the water. Then remove the mask. It's like magic!
Now adhere your panel to a card and add some sea creatures and a sentiment. (The sentiment and critter on my card is from the Wendell the Whale stamp set but you'll find other fun critters in our Animal House collection of stamps and dies.)
Also I put together a quick video showing this technique for you!
