We may have come up with a new technique at my last Stamp Camp! We used the Kind Thoughts small stencil from the Decor Elements line. Since we used Not Quite Navy ink on the blue stencil, it was a little hard to tell which side had ink on it. Well, if you intentionally ink up one side (with sponge or dauber), then turn it over and traditionally stencil, you end up with a cool shadow like this:
Isn't that cool looking? Thanks, Karen! This card is just one layer, sponged around the edges. Quick and easy! Think I'll call it Shadow Stenciling - what do you think? Let me know if you try it - I'd love to see what you come up with.
Happy Thanksgiving! I loved the card Dawn Olchefske did with the Autumn Meadows DSP and had to try it. I think she called it the Herringbone technique. It looks like inlaid wood almost - which I love. It's easy - no real measurements, although my strips are somewhere around 1/4". Lay down one strip diagonally and then make "v"'s with the others. So, this is my Thanksgiving card to share. Thank you to all that visit my blog, stamp with me, order with me and are my friends. I'm very grateful.
