{Spotlight Project} Vicki Uses Focal Stenciling



Today I am focusing on using a portion [in different colors] of your stencils. Here is my finished card:


To color your stencil images with different colors, just takes tape and post-its.

Tape down the stencil [Bold Florals] over the card panel, and then using post-its, "frame in" the image you want to sponge first. Then just move the post its around to the different images. See? Really easy!



Once I stenciled, I then stamped over the top using Bloom Sketches.



For a finishing effect [and to add a pop of color], I added one of the awesome birds from Small Birds. Because of the sketchiness of these images, they just scream partial coloring with water coloring.



Here is the finished card again:


Hope you enjoyed my "focal" stencil coloring tutorial.

See you next time~
