Treat Yourself - 04/30/2024

Place the IMALA rectangle stencil measuring 5 1/4 x 3 1/2", in the centre of your white 5 x 7 card blank. 

Use your blending brush to apply the Indigo within the panel. Start in the top left corner, fading the colour out as you move towards the bottom right corner. 

Stamp our classy lady in Midnight, coming up from the bottom right of your stencilled card. 

Wet a paint brush and paint in areas of her hair. Wait a few seconds for the water to activate the ink and then "lift" the colour out with a paper towel. This is referred to as the "faux bleaching" technique. 

Once the ink is dry go in with your white gel pen and add accents and highlights to your stamped image. 

Lay the stencil frame back over your stencilled frame and draw around the edge using a black fine line pen. 

Remove stencil and add a few zig zags to decorate the frame. 

To finish, stamp your sentiment in Midnight, in the bottom left corner of your card.
