flutter by butterfly

Hello everyone! It has been awhile since I've posted. You know- life somehow gets in the way. 

I am back and I have a few of the new products Memory Box is offering for 2014. New dies, of which I did get a few, but Dave put out stencils for this year. You all know how hot they are right now. Usually I am a day late and a dollar short with stamping trends. Not so this year- embrace the new!

Of course I had to do everything short of cutting them apart (that will come, I am sure!!:)) I would like to think I came up with this technique, but I am sure someone else has tried it. I am surprised it wasn't featured during the Stencil class by Jennifer Maguire and Kristine Werner.

Here is what I did:

First I used markers and colored the Butterfly Vine stencil itself.

Next I LIGHTLY spritzed it, really just a mist of water- no puddles or beads of water!!!

I gently placed it ink side down on my card stock and ran it through my Big Shot using the same platform combo I use for dies.

When you remove the stencil the ink is embedded into the card stock, almost like a letterpress.

I trimmed the piece and created the base card. I die cut the Oriel butterfly with MB gingham card stock and the Lunette butterfly with white card stock and colored it with markers and added a coating of  glitter and added it as an embellishment.

I was going to add a sentiment, but I just didn't want to interrupt the simple beauty of the card.

I have been trying to come up with a catchy name for this technique and haven't been able to- any ideas?

Let me know if you have a good name.

Sue, I love this card and the technique! How about just calling the technique "stamping with stencils?"
