One of my new favorite things is using stencils. I found I can use my new Clearsnap Archival ink with them as well. I was able to wipe it off with a baby wipe or wash it with water in my laundry sink which is usually how I clean them off. I added ink to my kraft mat, spritzed it with water and soaked it all up with a baby wipe. I used the baby wipe to add a lighter version of the new wave archival dye ink over the stencil. I then added more ink to my kraft mat, soaked it up with my already inky baby wipe to add a darker version in places over the stencil.. I dabbed it here and there to get a variegated watercolor look. I will be using this method a lot.

So sweet!! Love the background. I understand your addiction to stencils. I'm right behind you. Your card reminded me that I purchased this stamp set a couple of months ago :-) I just made a card with it. So, THANK YOU!! LOL
