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.

Vicky Gould is back again with another fun July challenge for the CCEE Stampers.

She says, "If you're like me, you have lots of stencils.  I have a drawer full that I never think of!  Get one of those out that you haven't used (or haven't used in ages) and put it to good use!"

My card was created with Distress Oxides, a script stencil by The Crafters' Workshop, and flowers from Unity.

Create a card using a stencil and join us on the CCEE Stampers' Blog in this challenge by posting your card there.
