Video Tutorial for this Stenciling Technique

Here's the replay of the video tutorial where I shared step-by-step how to create the card below using the Enduring Beauty stamp set from Stampin' Up!®️ with the coordinating stencils.

Easy Coloring with Stencils

Start by stamping the large floral image. I stamped this one with Pecan Pie ink. Then, use the coordinating Enduring Beauty stencils to add color.

Each of the stencils is numbered and has a notch at the top so that you can easily line them up with each other. I started by adding Lemon Lolly to the flowers with the first stencil. Then, I added Lemon Lime Twist to the leaves with stencil #2. Then, I used the third stencil to add shading to the flowers with Daffodil Delight and the fourth to add Granny Apple Green to the leaves.

Or Just Use the Stencil

For this handmade card, I just used the stencils to create the flowers on the Petal Pink cardstock. I stenciled on Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, and Pecan Pie ink. 

The notch in the stencils really helped to line of the different stencils for this card. Since I turned the stencil in different directions and used it in four different places, I had to line up the stencils in each spot as I layered on more color.

Use Stampin' Blends Instead

Or don't use the stencils at all to the color the flowers! For these cards, I used Stampin' Blends to color the stamped images.

Subtle Coloring on a Sympathy Card

To create a more subtle look for this sympathy card, I stamped the floral image on Crumb Cake cardstock. Then, I added Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam ink using the stencils. I used a Petal Pink Stampin' Blend to add a little pink to the additional small flowers on the edges. 

Because it's stamped and colored on Crumb Cake cardstock, it creates a softer look than the vibrant yellow flowers we saw on the first card.
