Torn Paper Stencil Technique Tutorial

Hello!  I have been having fun using stencils and thought of trying a technique with torn paper.  I hadn’t seen this done before, although it is pretty simple, I thought I would do a little picture tutorial.

1) I first tore some paper to cover part of my card front.  

2) I then taped my stencil over top of this.  

3) I used two colors of green ink to sponge over the stencil. I think two colors adds depth.  

4) I then carefully removed my stencil.  I think this next step is really important.  I used a light touch with my sponge and applied ink to the top and bottom of my paper mask and to the edges of the cardstock.   

5) I removed the paper mask.  This leaves a great spot for stamping a message or image.  

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial.  I finished my card off very simply with a sentiment from I Brake for Stamps and the flower from Sparkle n Sprinkle. I may go back and add a few enamel dots to it.  

Thanks for visiting today!  Please let me know if you try this technique!
