Good morning, Junkies! It's Holly posting today. Did you see this adorable puppy in this month's release? I love puppies so I just HAD to have this stamp, which is called Hearts Like Dogs. I stamped it with a gray ink, and then I stamped it again onto a sticky note. After I cut out the dog on the sticky note, I used it as a mask by sticking it down over my original stamped image. Then I placed the Circle Mosaic stencil over the masked image and very lightly brushed some gray ink around the sides and the top of the dog. When I was satisfied with the stenciling, I removed the stencil and the mask and adhered the stamped/stenciled piece to a gray card base.
Did you see the new ink blending brushes in the Technique Junkies store? They are super soft and they work beautifully to apply ink over stencils. You can see how my stenciled mosaic fades out on my card. Those brushes are magical!!
