Hello Sweet Friend! Try This Card Idea With Stencil Stacking

Earlier this week I shared some sweet honey bee themed card making ideas, using stamps and stencils. Today I'm back with another idea using the Sweet As Honey stamp set from Impression Obsession, as well as two fantastic stencils stacked together for a whole new look. This is an idea you can try using the stencils you have in your stash.

Today's stamp set, Sweet as Honey, has a variety of cute bee themed images like honey, bees of course, sweet sentiments and tea pots. All of these little images needed a place to land, and I loved the idea of multiple landing spots that move your eye around the card. There's lots to look at, but it doesn't feel cluttered or busy because of the repetition of the honeycomb circles in the background. 

How exactly did I make those honeycomb circles? 

I'm so glad you asked! ;)

This is where stencil layering, or stencil stacking comes into play. In this blog post, I created a card with the same exact technique - with just one large circle.  

Here's what to do:

• Choose a patterned stencil (like today's honeycomb) 
• Choose a stencil with a larger opening, like a circle or square shape. For this card, I used the six-circle stencil from the A4 Window Stencils set, which has a variety of shapes that are perfect for this technique.
• Layer the patterned stencil and the circles stencil together and ink over them together onto your card. (Use washi tape to help your layers stay in place if desired)

Today is Team Favorites Day on the Impression Obsession blog, and the designers all have some of our favorite projects and products from this month's release, that we love sharing with you! I'm so glad you stopped by today, and I hope you find lots of inspiration along the hop! xoxo
