Gather supplies - Neenah cardstock, Altenew inks,
Peacock Feathers stencil, Feathery stamp and die. I also used makeup brushes and sponge daubers to apply the inks.
STEP 2
I taped my cardbase to the mat, using the lines on the grid which I can see underneath the mat to be sure my stripes would be straight. Mask off the first stripe (I ended up using scrap paper and post-it tape rather than masking tape) and apply the lightest ink.
STEP 3
After completing the lightest stripe, I moved the masks to prepare for the second stripe then inked it.
STEP 4
Here's the last stripe. Each time before I removed the masks I sprinkled some water droplets onto the inked area.
STEP 5
Here are the completed stripes.
STEP 6
So the experiment was actually to see what would happen combining the organic feathers over the bold stripes. And to see what would happen combining the purples and blues I'd chosen to use for my peacock feathers. So I taped down the stencil and applied the blue inks.
STEP 7
And this is what happened! The colors are all a bit dark where layered over the darker purple tones. But I was happy to see a bit of the lighter teal where it hit the white areas.
This is an amazing process to create this awesome card - love the products - the purples - and the entire card - nice work - TFS
