Misting and Inking Stencils

One can never have too many cards on hand for AnyHero Mail. I’ll write a note of gratitude in this card, and include it in my next box of cards for Operation Write Home.


I misted the blue stars and the edge of the card and then inked the red stars through another stencil

I created a cut file, and used my Silhouette to make a stencil. Removable adhesive keeps the stencil tight against the card panel.

Next, I sprayed it with Dylusions London Blue ink. (I use a box for spraying. It’s messy stuff.)


The fun part! Removing the stencil!

  2. Nice! I like the blue and red stars and the Dylusions spray ink is very pretty shade of blue. I tried cutting a more intricate design out of an overhead transparency with my Silhouette and make a huge mess, so I think I will stick with simpler designs and use lightweight card stock. Thanks for the idea.

  3. Very nice! I love that blue too, it's very vibrant. You make everything look so easy. I still haven't learned my Silhouette the way I'd like to but I'll get there. I'm slower than most when it comes to stepping out of my comfort zone... :)
