spritzy atc backgrounds with Stencil 1

Do your backgrounds ever need a little extra something? I had some Gelli Plate monoprints that wanted a boost, and this eight pack (in my mind I call it an eight pack) of atc sized stencils from Stencil 1 was just the thing.

The stencils separate, but I left the sheet whole, clipped it to the print, and gave it a spritzing with some Dylusions spray inks. The paper on the left, below, is another print I used to pull the ink off the top of the stencil, kind of like a print, and basically the stencil in reverse:

The result?

A variety of backgrounds perfect for atcs,, ready to be cut to size and put to use:

Update--here are two of the four atcs I've finished so far. Same image, but I thought it would be fun to see the different effect of the backgrounds:

Each of the atcs, plus some fun little extras, are up for the giving away of at THIS BLOG POST.

Thank you for stopping by today, and happy creating to you!

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
