Make your own stencils tutorial
Today I am sharing a step-by-step mixed media tutorial on the Sizzix blog, using dies, embossing folders and paint. It is very popular to use stencils at the moment and a friend of mine asked me where she could find stencils, which got me thinking about a stencil tutorial. With your dies, you can make your own stencils and masks, just perfect for your project.
I made a mixed media canvas (6x6 in) and a card to show different ways of turning your dies into stencils. It's a fun way of getting even more out of your dies. The techniques can be used on any type of project: layouts, cards, tags, off the page, etc. I had so much fun making these.

A great canvas and card and it just shows people that you do not always have to go out and buy lots of equipment when we can make our own. Fantastic

I just found your blog and your creations really inspired me. You are doing a stunning work. :)

I am absolutely in love with your projects! Love the modeling past for the stencils, such great added texture! Both are masterpieces! Thanks for the comprehensive tutorial on the sizzix blog, I will have to try this sometime! :)
ReplyDeleteAnna-Karin, I am in love with your tutorial and can visualize how cool this technique would be on a PNC. What if you (hint) cut the PNC from clear (hint) and then created one of your 3D stencil/paste butterflies on the front (hint) and then it would look all chunky but also in flight! (hint) If only (hint) someone (hint) would (hint) try (hint) this! :)
