Seize the Birthday #285

Hello Crafty Friends!  It's time for another Seize the Birthday challenge and our host Barb has a unique Topping for us to try.  The technique is called Double Stenciling.  She's provided a how to link on our blog but in a nutshell, here's how it works.  

Ink blend through Stencil #1. 

Do Not Remove.

Place Stencil #2 over top of Stencil #1.

Ink blend again.   

My Example.

You may be wondering how I achieved three colors.  The plaid background is actually a three part stencil.  I applied the blue, then the green, then the yellow however I kept the third stencil in place (the yellow) and layered the cross hatch stencil over top, applying another layer of blue over top of the yellow squares.  The focal image is a die cut.  I ink blended the center in green, stamped the sentiment and then adhered the ornate frame in the center of the panel which was popped up onto the card base.  

Supplies:

The Greetery - Square Dance stencil set

Echo Park - Beach Towel stencil

Anna Griffin - elegant frame (included with my new mini Empress)

MFT - Mini Messages and More stamp set

We would love for you to join us in this technique but if it's not your thing, feel free to add any new birthday card to our gallery.  

Thanks so much for visiting!
