Birthday Butterfly Card Making Video

Hello! In today's video I'm showing you how to do a reverse stencil technique. It's basically the same as regular stenciling, but instead of sponging the inside of a shape, you sponge around the outside. It's a very fun way to spotlight an image.

Here is the video, but if you would rather watch directly on Youtube, you can find it on my channel by clicking here.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a really great day!

With the die cut still in the die template, use an inked applicator tool to sponge yellow ink onto the raised/embossed edges of the larger die cut.


 With the die cut still in the die template, use an inked applicator tool to sponge pink ink around the edges of the smaller die cut.


Stamp the sentiment onto the smaller die cut.  


 Cut/emboss Flutters ornate butterfly from pink cardstock and solid butterfly from brown cardstock. Remove ornate butterfly and clear the negative pieces from the die template using Spellbinders Tool ‘n One.



Use an inked applicator tool to sponge the edges of the butterfly with pink ink.
