Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Stretching Your Stencils!
Hello friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you today!
I love finding ways to stretch the supplies I have on hand… including those Christmas and holiday supplies! And my latest idea was: what if I turned our popular Winter Floral layering stencil set into a SPRING themed design? When blended with yellow ink, the poinsettias can actually be daffodils!
In addition to making the inked backgrounds, I’ll show you how to add some fun details to your blending that will make each of the cards you create completely unique!
Stretching your supplies for new card projects is a great way to reuse things we already own. I encourage YOU to try this out for yourself. I loved using this holiday themed stencil set to make these Spring encouragement cards!
