Hi there! Today’s video will show you how to use vibrant pigment inks and a stencil to blend through stencils and make two completely different cards. It may also show just how much I use the word awesome! 🙂
Both of the cards are made using the Hexastar stencil which is awesome for color blocking sections of your stencil! (I also am in love with the pattern).
The first card is just regular vibrant ink blending with Ali Edwards pigment inks and mini ink blending tools. Usually, I just use dye inks, but these are great for blending and getting a vibrant effect because the ink is like paint.
I just sprayed the extra ink on the stencil and pressed it onto another card for a fun watercolor look. I just love how subtle and different this background is!
For both of the cards, I cut a bold script AWESOME word die with black cardstock and vellum. I adhered it with a full back adhesive from the Xyron sticker maker (this way the adhesive is not visible).Then, I stamped a sentiment above each one to complete it using the awesome stamp set the coordinates. To complete the sentiments, I even added some Wink Of Stella and Glossy Accents for a cool effect!

Love the cards. I have pigment inks which I don’t use much. So I will definitely try this technique. And what luck! I just got the same Neat & Tangled die and stamps yesterday!
That’s a great stencil; love the vibrant look.
Your cards are awesome! (I counted sixteen times, by the way…)
OOPS another Karen going to say what awesome cards you made.
Great job and I love how you’re fast and to the point!
Hi Simon,

I lost count of the “awesomes” :), but your cards are awesome. Great technique for making two cards at once with different looks!
Wonderful technique. Love that you get 2 cards from one technique like this. Thanks!
