Evolution stencil and alcohol inks.

Hi everyone, have you had a chance to play along with the latest CAS Stencil challenge?

It's a technique theme, to use alcohol ink or alchol ink lift with a stencil.

It's a lot of fun and there's still plenty of time to join in. 

The DT and our wonderful guest Janet have loads of inspiration for you and there are some video tutorials on the challenge blog too.

For this tag I wanted to try something different with the alcohol inks. I put a few drops of  blue and purple with blending solution on a felt pad and swiped stripes across some yupo. I swiped a few times so the colours merged to mostly blues. I like the texture the stripes add so will try this method again.

I taped the stencil over the yupo and put a drop of alcohol lift ink reinker onto a sponge pad and used a blending tool to pat away some of the ink. The ink came away pretty easily.

I added a yellow hello diecut, layered for dimension and embossed with sparkle clear, and then clear embossing powder for some shine.

(Looking at the tag here I can see a face in the design, so hello seems appropriate lol!!)

I'm linking up to these challenges:

Watercooler Wednesday where it's anything goes masculine.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday where the theme is to make your own background.

Just Us Girls has the sentiment as the focus.

Supplies:

Stamplorations Evolution stencil; yupo; Ranger alcohol inks; blending solution; Dienamics pierced tag die; hello die ( not sure of brand); Wow sparkle clear and clear ep.

Thanks for visiting,
