Video: Coloring with Stencils Four Ways

Using rainbow colors with coloring stencils in cardmaking.

Welcome friends, Karen Brown here to share some bright fun cards using coloring layering stencils. Today, I used Hero Arts beautiful Mandala Flower Pattern stamp set and the coordinating Color Layering Mandala Flower Pattern Stencils .

I am sharing a step-by-step visual tutorial in my video (below):

I was so inspired by this mandala that I created four different cards. I love the versatility and endless possibilities!

Monochromatic Coloring

Monochromatic mandala card in blues, greens and aquas.

With a small blending brush , I started by coloring a monochromatic panel in blues, greens and aquas. I used Splash , Blue Raspberry , Blue Hawaii and Aegean inks for this card. I then die cut my panel and a Peacock mat using Pointed Arches Infinity Dies . I added a rub-on sentiment from the Birthday Party Hero Transfer set. I really LOVE Hero Transfers!

Stenciling with Rainbow Colors

Next, I decided to add rainbow colors to my mandala. I did this two ways...first using the outline stamp and the second using only the stencil. I love both cards but I think the "stencil only" card is a bit more casual.

Hero Arts Mandala Flower Pattern rainbow colored cards with and without the outline stamp.

For both cards, I used Splash , Taffy , Pool Party and Creamsicle inks. For the card on the left, I used one of my favorite die cut sentiments: Smile Friend Stamp and Cut XL .

For the "stencil only" card, I also trimmed my Mandala with a Rounded Rectangle Infinity Die and used a sentiment included with the stamp set.

Stenciling with Glitter Paste

For my fourth card, I stenciled a layer of Hero Glitter Paste on my mandala, and I love the result.
