Step up your Stencils

Anyone else find ink blending super satisfying?  Ink blending with stencils is even MORE satisfying!  Lifting the stencil and seeing the results is so much fun.  I was playing around with the Gina K Designs Water Droplets stencil and decided to slightly shift the stencil a couple of times and re-blend the inks to create a cool effect. 

  For my first card I used Gina K Designs wild dandelion, tangerine twist, passionate pink, and wild wisteria ink pads.  First I masked off the corner of my cardstock with some Gina K Designs Masking Magic Sheets.  I ink blended ink blended on the same angle as my masking paper.  I then shift my stencil to the right and slightly upwards and repeated the ink blending.  I repeated this process one more time before removing my stencil.  Then I used whatever ink remained on my brushes to blend one more time so that the remaining white spaces didn't look so stark.  

I used the Pretty Pink Posh Simple Strips dies to cut the strips from black cardstock.  The sentiment is from the Gina K Designs You Are Enough  mini stamp set.  

For my next card I used the same Gina K Designs Water Droplets stencil  and this time I chose the Gina K Designs ink pads in wild dandelion, Grass green, blue denim, and wild wisteria.  I used the Gina K Designs Masking Magic Strips to mask off the border on the cardstock.  I used the same technique shifting the stencil twice and re-blending.  I die cut a circle into the design and then layered a slightly larger panel behind it.  I stamped the sentiment from the Gina K Designs Butterfly Trio stamp set, die cut it, and then popped it up with foam tape.
