Stenciling once is fine. But stenciling twice is super cool! These cards feature a mixture of hand cut masks and stencil, along with a Crafter's Workshop stencil I designed several years ago.
Watch the video for the how-to:
Supplies:
- white cardstock
- transfer tape
- Identi-Pen
- craft knife & cutting mat
- Distress Ink
- Ink Blending Tools
- scrap of paper for extra masking
- optional: release paper
- The stencil is called "Christmas Words." Sadly, it's discontinued, but you might like THIS or THIS.
- painter's tape
- tape runner
- paper trimmer
- blank black card
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. This is a technique that you can use for lots of projects — including art journal pages. Just remember that Distress Ink is water reactive.
Thanks for stopping by!

How fun and what a great use for the release paper. What is the difference between distress ink and regular in? I’m assuming that you did the stars first because the yellow isn’t totally opaque and the green stencil would bleed through?

Im not sure there is regular ink anymore. All stamping inks have certain qualities. Distress Ink has a longer open time than most dye based inks, so its perfect for color blending. And yes, most inks are transparent.
