Well, hello to you all,
Hope you are all well!
A quick hello to all our new followers, thank
you for joining us here and I hope you like what
you see and perhaps enter our challenges. We
would love you to take part!
Neil is here today to show you how he made brilliant
masks/stencils to use for journalling. Of course they
could be used for anything, not just on your pages!
Neil says....
One of my favourite things to do is to make
re usable stencils from my dies using acetate
so today I've made a couple of stencils from
my Tim Holtz dies and made a start on
a journal page using them.
Begin by laying out your dies onto a sheet of Tyvek.
I would recommend the magnetic plate to
hold everything in place. Run it through your
machine about 6 - 8 times as it's a bit of a pain
to cut! Instead of Tyvek you could use a
thin sheet of acetate .
Once you've managed to cut it you now have a
re usable stencil. I've laid it onto a page in my
sketchbook and you can see there are a couple
more cut from the Frameworks dies too.
These are cut from acetate.
Spritz with Dylusions, lay the masks on the other page.
Use a moist cloth to blend and when happy,
dry the page.
Add detailing with the mask and Distress ink.
Use the masks and a moist wipe to remove colour.
Stamp and die cut the 3 butterflies and colour
them grey.
(Well you can colour them how you like LOL)
Stamp the butterflies onto the page (to get the
antennae) and glue the butterflies in place.
Thank you Neil, this looks really great, and
a great way of making your own stencils.
This is what Neil used -
Come back and join me tomorrow with
a project from Dawn!
See you then,

One of my favourite thing to do to! Must look at Tyvek as I have tried cutting acetate with the thinlits and I haven't had any success with the more detailed ones.
