Group of Seven Card makers - Stencil Monoprint

Hi everyone, it's time for the Group of Seven Cardmakers Monthly Technique. This month we are doing some Stencil Monoprints an old but fun technique.

Lee-Anne Cross created this video for Split coast stampers which explains how to create a stencil mono print if you have never done one before.

It's an old but fun technique which can be done by smooshing ink pads over a stencil or sprinkling powdered inks and spritzing with water then placing the inked side on card. To mop up the excess water place a piece of kitchen roll over the stencil.

Just a note when using stencils with words or numbers to check the inked side to make sure they are the correct way round and not mirror imaged. The ink goes on the back when you read the letters or numbers.

Card 1- Paper Artsy (Alison Bomber) stamp, TCW stencil, Distress inks

Card 2- Stampers Anonymous sentiment, Tim Holtz stencil, Powdered inks.

Card 3- Stampers Anonymous, Paper Artsy (Alison Bomber) stamps, Lavinia Stencil, Distress Inks.

Group of Seven - Embossing on Velum

Hi everyone, this month Group of Seven Cardmakers are using Velum and embossing (Dry, Heat and Pastes) as the product and technique to try.

For my cards I have used Dry (using an Embossing Folder) and Heat Embossing. The thicker velum handles the dry embossing much better and doesn't seem to crack when you emboss it..

Card #1, Simon Says Stamp Embossing folder, Stampers Anonymous Sentiment. The embossed area was placed over blue card and mounted on a white base.

Card #2, Retired Stamping up sentiment, Stamping up foliage.  The velum was heat embossed with white embossing powder and Versamark ink and the same image was stamped on the reverse in blue ink. It takes a while for the ink to dry. I die cut a window using a rectangle and placed the velum behind. The sentiment was stamped in Versafine Clair 

I hope you find some velum and play along with us.

Card Recipe
Stamps: Stamping up, Stampers Anonymous
Paper: Velum, Blue, 110lb White
Ink: Versafine Clair, Versamark
Accessories: Embossing Folder, Rectangle Die, Embossing Powders
Techniques: Dry Embossing, Heat Embossing
