Hello! I am glad to be back after taking a month break from my BPM DT duties. Today's project features another creative way of using a stencil in which aside from inking on the stencil, you fussy cut the inked image to create an embellishment. Just another way to stretch those supplies.
I blended an orange dye ink on an orange cardstock using the stencil. I used a darker orange ink for the ink blending. I masked the leaf and stem area of the pumpkin since I will be using another color for the stem and leaves.
Without removing the stencil, I added outlines to the blended image using a stylus. This adds a recessed outline on the image.
I used the impression created by the stylus on the back side of the cardstock as a guide to reposition the stencil. I flipped the stencil as well since I will be working on the back side of the impressed panel.
I repeated the step of using the stylus to create an outline on the pumpkin. I used the outline I created earlier as a guide. You don't have to do this step but I wanted the outlines to be raised on the inked pumpkin. I fussy cut the inked pumpkin, leaving a border around the inked image.
I repeated this process on the leaves and stem changing the colors of ink and the cardstock. If you notice, I used a brown color for the stem which I changed as I was working on the project.
To add depth to the leaves, I used the ball end of the stylus to curl the paper.
I punched a Jack o' Lantern face on the inked pumpkin. I adhered a pearl black cardstock to the back of the pumpkin to cover the holes created by the punch. I embellished the pumpkin with a twine, vellum and a clear gem. I added Ranger Glossy Accent to the face. Isn't the pumpkin cute?
For the panel, I trimmed a patterned paper at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" from a 6x6 patterned paper. Using the left over patterned paper, I ran this through my die cut machine using a die that pokes holes on paper. I added stitching to the holes on the strips.
I adhered the strips to the panel. I adhered a sentiment from a cut apart patterned paper. I adhered the pumpkin with foam adhesive.
I hope you like today's project.
