Layering Stencils Tips

I have found that many people forget this basic tip when using layering stencils. It is simple work from light to dark just like you will do with other translucent mediums.

Numbered/ layered stencils usually allow you to build up an image starting from the background to the details. So if you use light inks first, any detail you add over using darker inks will be seen.

You can also use the same layered stencil to blend contrasting ink colours. By doing this, you can create new shades, and add shadows, vibrancy and interest to your stencilled images.

The cards in the video

So I made 4 cards out of 2 stencilled panels …. Remember you can make projects in any size regarding the size of the supplies.

Bouquet of Peonies

The new Bouquet of Peonies bundle includes a stamp set, a die set, and layered stencils.

• The Bouquet of Poppies stamp set is massive.
  It is an A4 stamp set. It includes a large floral cluster, 5 individual florals, 2 butterflies and 19 sentiments.
• This stamp set coordinates with the Bouquet of Poppies Stencils, a pack of 8 layered stencils where the first 6 stencils coordinate with the large floral cluster and the 2 last ones with the individual images in the stamp set.
• There is also a coordinating Poppies Die set. A set of 7 cutting dies that will die-cut the smaller images in the stamp set.

You can get the bundle or individual items at the Simon Says Stamp Store here.
