Stenciled with text

I have been experimenting with my stencils trying different techniques and one thing I wanted to do was stamp a pattern through the stencil onto the card underneath. I ended up using some modeling paste first to give me a slightly raised image. I taped the stencil to some watercolour paper first then spread modelling paste over it with a palette knife. I removed the stencil to let the paste dry thoroughly then replaced it before stamping. I used the text stamp from “Footnotes” and did not stick it to an acrylic block first, instead I kept it flexible and pressed it onto each leaf and flower space in the stencil. As I had stamped it with Versafine Majestic Blue I lightly sponged the same ink over the stencil to captures the stems and define the design a little more. The panel was taped to my work surface so I used the edge of the tape as a border adding blue with a watercolour pencil and blending the colour into the panel. I finished it off with just a few little splatters and a small sentiment. The panel is popped up over a grosgrain ribbon.
You can’t see the modeling paste in my photo but the effect on the card is a subtle raised image. I have more experimenting with stencils to share in the days to come. Thanks for dropping by.

A very beautiful technique. I like the texture the paste gives to the card. Thanks for sharing the technique.
Marvellous! So very pretty with the blues & then the script stamping. TFS

So very pretty! My experiments with my stencils have been very limited so far, but I will add this to my list of must-tries.
Love this card. Thanks for your experimenting–always fascinating to see what you’re doing.
Using the text stamp is a perfect choice to stamp on the stencil. I really need to buy one of those.
Beautiful! A very cool technique!
