T Stands For Stencil Smooshing Technique!

"Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted"  Matthew 23:12 Memory Verse for Week 4 of Revive Our Hearts Esther Bible study.

Today, I have been playing with an acrylic paint technique and an  oxide inks technique.  I will show you the one with the oxide inks.  This was done for our Try a New Technique Challenge on SplitcoastStampers today.  They directed us to this tutorial,  which I watched while doing this.

I applied gesso to my cardstock first.   Then I applied the oxide ink direct from the pad to the stencil.

I did this with four different ink colors and three different stencils.  After I applied  the ink to the stencil, I  spritzed it  with water a couple of times.  Then I laid the stencil down on the paper.    I did each stencil and even on top of the other, but I dried in between; I just dabbed with a paper towel.

Then I cut the paper down to the size  I wanted.  I chose where I liked the design best.  I will have leftovers for another card.  

My finished card:  I  added the piece to a turquoise base and added a thank you die cut. I want to play with this some more! 

For Elizabeth's T Stands For Tuesday over at Altered Book Lover, I have these photos for you.  I have been wanting to walk around this pond at a local shopping center.  A friend and I had lunch there, and then walked around the pond.  She took the photos for me. :)

 There is an island in the middle of the pond, and that is where the waterfall and little bridge are.
There were heron, too, but she didn't get a photo of them.  However there is something on top of the bridge.

And here I am with my water from lunch. :)

Have a wonderful week!  I am having fun in my craft room, hope you are doing some fun things, too.

Thanks for stopping by.
