Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today working with stencils and ink.

Have you seen the fun stencils in the store?  Everything from Memory Box to The Crafter's Workshop to Ranger.

Today's I've used  The Crafter's Workshop and Ranger stencils to create a layered look on my tag.



I started by placing the Splattered Stencil on kraft cardstock and inked it with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink using an Ink Blending Tool.  My second layer is the Crafter's Workshop Mini Bricks Stencil inked with Dusty Concord Distress Ink and an Ink Blending Tool.





May Arts ribbon was tied to the tag after first being inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink using an Ink Blending Tool to make it less stark white.  A Sizzix banner and Santa with his Sleigh finished off the card.

Thank you for visiting

Good morning, Steph here today and I think these cute Morehead stamps are delightful.  Today, I'm using Raindrops, such a pretty image with the flower in hand.

Creating your own background papers is easy when you have fun stencils to work with.  While it is a little hard to see, I used The Crafter's Workshop Raindrops stencil on the yellow cardstock to create the backdrop for my stamped image.  I painted through the stencil with Clearsnap's new line of Izink in Silver.


The image was stamped on Copic XPress It cardstock and then colored with assorted Copic Markers.  She was then fussy cut and added to the card front with foam adhesives for dimension.
