Torn Paper Stenciling

The challenge this week in my stamp group is to do a faux torn paper look using a stencil. You can go HERE to Heidi's blog to see a written tutorial on how to do it.

I cut my paper to A2 size and then tore a strip of lightweight paper to cover the center portion of my card where I will later add my stamped image and sentiment. Lay your stencil on top of that and then using two brown inks I inked up my stencil, then after removing the stencil you ink around the edges of the torn paper and your card.  Such a quick technique but looks so neat and this is a one layer card, so no problem with mailing.


Hero Arts - Sea & Sky stencil, inked with Frayed Burlap and Gathered Twigs Distress inks
Inkadinkado - For the birds stamp set, colored w/markers and All Occasions sentiment stamp



Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by, and if you are in one of the HOT spots around the U.S. I hope you are staying cool.
