I used a different stencil and different colors of Alcohol Inks. I made mine a thank you instead of birthday, but followed her technique.
Instead of pouring on lots of AI over the stencil - I dripped the colors over the stencil and then pounced over the stencil with a felt applicator on a mini blending tool from Ranger.
I did use Pixie Spray but the ink did still seep beneath the stencil - but what a great look achieved!
I'm going to try this with many of my neglected stencils! I did clean off my stencil with rubbing alcohol as the AI's can stain it a bit.
I doubled up the die cut thank you - using green and blue cardstock slightly off set when glued over one another.
My vellum is cardstock as Ardyth suggested using as it's slightly thicker- and I just used glue to adhere the vellum to the cardstock and you cannot see the glue. My stencil covered the whole panel so that it does have AI all over it. Glue may have showed through if there were any open spaces.
Congrats on being the FS this week Ardyth and thank you for your inspiration! I learned a new way to use Stencils and AI's today!

This technique certainly creates some very cool and interesting bgs. I love your colors -- so fitting with the name you chose for this card -- and the outdoorsy feel they evoke. You are nudging me closer to staining some of my stencils (ouch) because I love how this AI technique looks. Great card,
