Stencil Ghosting Technique

Here is another quick post to share a card for the CAS Stencil Card Challenge.


I sponged the watercolour panel with Distress Oxide Inks,  placed the stencil over the background and spritzed with water. The vital step is to quickly and carefully remove the stencil and use a paper towel to mop up any excess water. I found this worked better with some colours rather than others. 


I thought the MFT Otter would look good on this background.


There are links to tutorials at the CAS Stencil Challenge Blog.

I'm also entering the following challenge:-
3 Sequins:)

    A wonderful technique and a fabulous card too Jenny. That background has so much depth in it (I will have to try that technique myself). Love your beautifully coloured otter and the 3 sequins really finish it off. Thanks for letting us see this at Less is More xx

    The colour lifting looks great with this stencil, great for your watery background. And there's always something so crisp and clean about blue and white, love it. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
