Water Stenciling Video Tutorial

Hi everyone! It is the last day of January and I hope you are well! Here we have a lot of snow and it is very cold, but also sunny. I took this winter's most beautiful walk today.

I have a video tutorial to share with you today, for a very quick and easy background technique with Distress Ink, a stencil and water.

I made a tag, but the technique works for many different types of projects. Lots of fun elements on this tag, and the tiny envelope can be opened. There is a small card inside, which is also a fun idea for cardmaking. You can place an extra sentiment of message inside the envelope.

Let's jump right into the video. You can also find step photos below.


You can also watch the video on YouTube. You'll find the steps below too, including info on the rest of the tag.

Start by inking the tag with Distress Inks.

Mist the Simon Says Stamp Bubble Wrap stencil pretty heavily with water and place it on the tag.

Remove the stencil and you get this ghost effect, where the dots look darker since the stencil removed some of the ink.

Stamp and emboss circles from Simon Says Stamp Mix and Match Circles. I used Ranger's Mixed Media powders. Always be very careful when heat heat-embossing and never touch the melted powder.

Cut the circles out and ink the edges. I also added some metallic idea-ology embellishments, such as this Thought Token.

The labyrinth was cut out in the center too and I added a gear and a game spinner to it.

I also splattered some black Scribble Stick on the background.

The tiny envelope was inked and assembled. For another project using the Mini Interactive Envelope die check out my Scrap Paper Envelopes.

Inside the envelope is the little card with a stamped sentiment.

And on the inside of the card I stamped these two sentiments from Because of You.

Here you can see the effect from the stencil technique a little better.

The small dot border comes from Mix and Match Circles and the sentiment is from So Far So Good.

I colored the tip of the pen nib with a permanent marker and added some paint to the rest of the nib.
