Wild Thing with a Reverse Stencil - The Project Bin

A couple of weeks ago, Lyn Tomlin posted a challenge at Splitcoaststampers called Reverse Stencil. It involves inking the card front in bright, vibrant colors and then placing a stencil over that and inking  over it in black. I absolutely loved the look and knew I wanted to give it a try as soon as possible.

Needing several masculine birthday designs for the month of August, I decided today was the day to give it a try. Today's card, sponsored by The Project Bin, features images and sentiments from Wild Thing.

I started with a 4 x 5.25 white panel and blended Twisted Citron, Blueprint Sketch, and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide inks by Ranger across the entire surface. I thought the Mini Gear stencil by The Crafters Workshop would be perfect with the motorcycle so I placed it over the colored panel and blended Versafine Onyx Black ink over the top of that. I then created an Abandoned Coral panel for the motorcycle and a Twisted Citron panel for the sentiments. They were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink, as well. I spritzed a little water at the top to break up that large blue patch and am very happy with the results.

I certainly will be using this technique again!! It was quick and fun!! And I love the motorcycle and gears as a masculine birthday card!

I am entering this card in SCS Technique Lover's Challenge #804. Here is a link to other cards created with this same technique.
