Hellooooooo! Today I've got a fun and fresh new idea for you, prompted by a question a student asked me in class this past weekend.
As you can see from the diagram, you push colorant through a stencil. A mask covers (or masks) an area and the colorant goes around it. All of the Balzer Bits are masks. However, a student asked me if there were a way to treat them as stencils. I put on my thinking cap and came up with an idea.
Watch the video for the how-to:
                 |
Here are the samples from the video:
And here is a scrapbook page I put together using my new taped-up version of the Scribbled Rose Bit:
Lots of yummy layers of stencils and stamps and paint and ink!
                          |
And here's a peek at just the background right after I created it (you can see my fabulous taped stencil above it).
I'm really loving this new way of using my Bits! So, thank you so much to the student who asked a simple question and opened the doorway to a whole new world!
If you would like to win a pair of Scribbled Rose Bits (one to tape and one to leave as is), simply leave a comment on this post, answering the following question:
What blog (other than this one) do you read on a daily basis? Share a link! :)
Please note that comments left on Facebook or sent in via e-mail will not be entered to win. You have until Sunday, March 22 at 11:59pm EST to leave a comment on this post and be entered to win!
Thanks for stopping by!

But of course. I must say that I should probably check out some other blogs but you two seem to give me enough inspiration to get through my supplies (and add to my wish list).
Thanks for the chance to win Julie.

I didn’t realize this was a “new” technique as I have been doing this with your Bits since I first purchased them:) I make sure I read your blog every day, and there are a few others as well….some of which don’t post daily..too many to name.

I check your blog on most week days, it is my little “spirit break” in the midst of crazy work days. I also check in on Alisa burke with some frequency.
I have a few of your stencils/masks, most of all they have inspired me to create my own! Yay!

Like so many of the gals that have posted above, I watch your blog first thing in the morning. It’s always there and I don’t have to go hunt for an art fix while I’m waiting for my grandsons to get ready for school. I try out almost all your techniques because they are so freaking great! Anyway, just a side note, I’m loving my Junque Journal…love, love, love it!!! Best thing I ever made and a wonderful place to try out all my art techniques. I also receive a blog post from DirtyFootprints.com. Dirty Girl and Dirty Footprints have a distinct similarity in their title, don’t they? It encourages me to be a little “dirty” instead of so uptight with my art…let’s just play and have fun!!!!

Thank you! The difference in the stamped/masked image is both small and large! Absolutely going to double up on my favorite Balzer Bits! I go to Seth Apter’s blog –http://thealteredpage.blogspot.com/ I truly appreciate the nearly daily blogging of both yours and his; the amount of shared creativity and enthusiasm is amazing and very much admired! (Also realized how many exclamation points I used – oops! — damn).

Awesome way to stretch the use of a supply. 🙂 And, so cool to see you do a scrapbook layout–I’ve missed those, and this one is particularly awesome in all it’s handmade goodness.
Your blog as the first I visit every day, and then I jump around looking for a new favorite with daily posts. My latest find is http://lisacongdon.com/blog/ While she doesn’t post EVERY day, it’s pretty close, and as a new reader there is plenty of back content to binge on.

Julie, you have become such an inspiration! I am amazed
at your busy life and still having time to be so creative.
You start my creative day and I miss you on the weekends. I also enjoy artistcellar.com every evening after supper.

at your busy life and still having time to be so creative.
You start my creative day and I miss you on the weekends. I also enjoy artistcellar.com every evening after supper.
Julie, you have become such an inspiration! I am amazed
at your busy life and still having time to be so creative.
You start my creative day and I miss you on the weekends. I also enjoy artistcellar.com every evening after supper.
Thanks for the video and the idea…I’m using some of your “bits” and love them, but this idea pushes it to another level…win-win! And you are so right, the price point is great to have bits as both a stencil and an mask! I am following a blog from Carrie Cordero Designs at https://carriecorderodesigns.wordpress.com/ What’s great about this blog is that Carrie shows her steps using words and pictures, so it’s easy to follow for super-newbie me! Looking forward to seeing you at the end of the month for Junk Journals at the Ink Pad!

I really enjoy astampaday.blogspot.ca. Great tutorial, Julie. Would you ever consider offering the two versions in your next designs? I love the crisp images of the “converted mask” versions.

I love the scribbled rose bits! So pretty! To be honest Julie, yours is the only blog I read daily. I used to look at other blogs, but I lost interest in them as they went off on different tangents. I have been inspired to art journal every day by you, and it has been wonderful therapy during some difficult times. I love your zest for life, positive attitude and creative outpourings!

What a nice way to make more use of your masks. Now I have to check if I can make some changes in old masks or leave them the way they are. Another blog I follow is also someone who blogs on a daily basis and make wonderful collage:
