Stencil Month 2024 – Day 1 – Offset Color Ink Blending with Layered Stencils

NOTE: This post is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp. Thanks, Simon!
Hi all! I loved having a theme for the month so much that I decided to do a theme for April as well! So today is Day 1 of Stencil Month! I’ll be playing with stencils all month long. :)
For today’s card, I used Simon Says Stamp’s Hearts in a Heart stencil set. In the past I’ve loved the tone-on-tone ink blending technique where the thru-stencil blending is more intense than the lighter application all over the area. To change it up a bit, I applied the same colors through the layered stencils slightly offset so that I’d get a varied colorful look! Such a subtle change in blending, but an awesome look!
To finish off the card, I used a “hello” diecut from Simon’s Hello Beautiful Gorgeous die set.
