We're having an ARTplorations stencil blog hop over at STAMPlorations, and you're invited! I've used my newest favourite technique (positive/negative stencilling) with my newest favourite product (Infusions) and my newest favourite stencil (A Bloom And Three Buds), to create these two cards. You can see the technique in detail in this Spotlight post on the STAMPlorations blog.
I added some coloured pencil highlights/lowlights on the flowers and leaves, then added a wash around the negative area. The water picked up the stray colours.
This was the negative print. I replaced the stencil and sponged colour, then added pen lines to define the images.
Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog for details about the hop, and how you can win prizes.
Awesome work!!! I will definitely try this technique! xx Susanne.
