Ink blending and stencil color block tips

January 17, 2024 - by Gaylynn

Ink blending and stencil color block tips

Hi friends. Gaylynn here.  For today, I am sharing an ink blending and stencil color block butterfly card project.  This one needs no additional coloring.


I love the abstract look of it.

Sentiment:  With all my heart.

Helpful tips:
To make this card using ink blending and stencil color block, begin by stamping the big butterfly onto white cardstock.  Also, trim or die-cut the butterfly to make the card front panel.  Next, stamp the sentiment directly near the butterfly and/or onto a separate piece of white cardstock.  Optional, trim around one of the sentiments.  Then, using a stencil, add two shades of ink blending onto each square or stencil panel, one panel at a time.  Be sure to mask off or cover all other sections using removable tape strips.  Next, repeat the blending for each stencil square or section.  Then, remove the stencil and heat set the blending.   Finally, layer it all onto the card base with added adhesive gems or pearls, to finish.

Here are the step highlights for the making of this butterfly card.

Gather supplies.

Trim the sentiment (optional)

Ink blending with a stencil, one block at a time.

And, here is a closer look.

Finally, take a peek at a short video of this project.

I hope that you give this a try and also share your Unity makes in the Unity Show & Tell Facebook Group.

Enjoy your day.
