This is a great technique. And it also gives you another way to use your stencils. Basically you press ink onto your STENCIL, spritz with water and then press it onto your mixed media or watercolour card stock. The amount of water depends on the type of card stock you are using (less water for mixed media paper / more water for watercolour paper). It just takes a little bit of practice. You can use a variety inks for this ... distress inks, dye inks, watercolour sprays, distress paint. Lots of possibilities. Give it a try! :)
Please remember to keep your cards CAS ...
At Happy Little Stampers, CAS (clean and simple) is defined as
- one main focal point
- lots of open (no pattern) space
- minimal layers
- minimal embellishments
