Hi Everyone. Prior to starting our Group of Seven Cardmakers blog, our group kept in touch during Covid and started trying out new and (revised) older techniques. We are including them as a reference for those that are interesting in trying them out.

February 2021
Supplies:
- Watercolour paper (or mixed media, bristol, etc.)
- Stencil
- Distress Inks or Distress Oxides - Two colours (one dark, one light)
- Sponges
- Water mister
- Paper Towel for blotting
Technique Instructions:
Following the video above ...
- Secure watercolour paper to work surface
- Place stencil over top and tape down at top of stencil, securing the tape as a hinge so that the stencil can be flipped up
- Flip up stencil to work directly on watercolour paper, sponge top third of paper using darkest ink, fading out as you reach about 1/3 down the paper.
- Continuing with just watercolour paper and using the second ink colour, blend up through the faded ink and then down the card about 1/2 way. Continue with the second colour of ink, fading out the colour below the 1/2 way point.
- Flip stencil down over the watercolour paper. Blend with the second colour, starting at the 1/2 way point and downwards. Most pressure at center of paper, fading out towards the bottom.
- Flip of stencil to see if you are happy with the look. Place stencil back and continue blending if you want more colour.
- Lightly mist with water on the top of the card.
- Blot lightly with paper towel. This will fade out the colour at the top.
- Let paper completely dry.
