It's "Free" Dream Scheme Thursday

Hello all,
This week is a "free" week - so we can post whatever we feel inclined to.

Since I am still experiencing some technical difficulties (or as it should read, I am having difficulty being technical), I have picked an oldie but goodie..........



This is a stencil on stencil technique. Pretty easy really.
Start by dry embossing the image. Then with stencil in place, add color using pigment ink and stencil brushes. Remove stencil, clean and replace. Set a second stencil over the top of the main stencil image (here the Ginko leaves), and add color. For the design on the leaves I used the large Damask background LX7001 and rust pigment ink.

Try it. Once you start you can't stop. You'll be looking at your stencils to see which ones you can stencil over. Have fun with this, check back next week. I should have concurred my technical issues by then!! Thank you for visiting, check out the rest of the Dreamteams sites for more fun stenciling ideas.

  2. You're right! This is a fun technique and there's no limit to the combinations. And it's my favorite style, too: clean and simple.
