Hi everyone! I'm excited today to be sharing a new video tutorial with you on using pigment powders to create different types of backgrounds with stencils. For these cards I used Brushos and Color Bursts. They both work the same way. I also focused on using Tracy Evans stamps for AALL & Create. You can find the quick video tutorial HERE (and I'm actually talking! LOL!).
This first sample shows a very delicate stencil. I lost some of the pattern doing the initial print, but I love the lightness and airy feeling!
This card shows a secondary print, or monoprint. These prints are always more defined and are usually bolder.
Another secondary print. I gave my mom an in person demonstration on how to use the powders and she came up with this beautiful card design, which I CASEd.
And a second colorway, CASEing my mom's card again.
I drew these little humps to sort of frame the panel.
I absolultely loved this card! It was a primary print and I lost most of the delicate stencil detail, but still loved it! You can see that I added a ton of water and this is why I lost the detail, but also what makes it less speckledy.
This last card is another primary print and I added some white embossing to brighten it up. I stamped the butterfly on my pickup paper.
Here you can see the card made from the monoprint beside the original. (The original is the one I used for the first card on this post with the butterfly.)
And here you can see I used the original for the card and it is beside the monoprint. You can make so many beautiful backgrounds in just a couple of hours of playing!
I really hope you've enjoyed this tutorial and will give it a try yourself. Just remember to put on some gloves beforehand! Here are my mom's and my hands afterward! LOL! <3 Again, find the video HERE and make sure to Pin this post for reference. xx, Autumn
Such a beautiful selection of cards Autumn - and how wonderful to be able to craft with you Mum! Thanks for the video - I will get messy again once the 'flu bugs depart!!

Messy is always fun! Love the stitching! Yellow and green turned out especially nice.
