1 stencil, 10 ways


It's no secret that I love my stencils. Sure you can use almost anything as a mask but these are designed to be used over and over again. So they are a great investment, especially when your LSS has them marked down...*High fives all around* Today I want to share with you the versatility of just 1 stencil...my fave chevron stencil by Crafter's Workshop Balzer Designs - 1 stencil, 10 ways. :)

We-love-our-angry-birds-watches

1. Create your own patterned background with several colours of mist. Then run it through the Cameo for the negative text effect.

O-on-4x4-canvas

2. Use it with Golden fiber paste for a bold background on a tiny canvas [4x4].

Mixed-media-canvas-for-Lynnda

3. Use it with Golden fiber paste for a subtle background on a canvas.

It's-crazy-time!

4. Mist with another stencil, then use overlay it with some Golden fiber paste.

Gangster-gang-journal-page

5. Use  it for a fun background on journal pages.

New-friends

6. Use the chevrons like arrows to guide the eye to the photo.

Hello-there-Sophie

7. Use the chevrons like arrows to guide the eye to the title of the layout.

8. Create a neutral background and incorporating the residual mist left on the template too.

Whatcha doing

9.  Use it to create a subtle mat for your photos.

Love-between-siblings

10. Vary the intensity of the colour to create more interest.

There you have it. 1 stencil, 10 ways. What do you think?

    Wow - super cool. Even if you only used it those 10 times (which I know you have not), you'd have gotten your money's worth.
