Hello, \u00c5shild here! For this post I’ve had so much fun. I grabbed one of the fabulous Rubber Dance stencils – the Big Triangles<\/a> – and decided to have a play with it. I wanted to make the stenciled triangles look dimentional. Yes, that was my entire plan for this card *haha*. But, you know what? I made it! And I’ll share with you how I did it. Are you ready?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"
1. Use masking tape to hold the stencil “on place” for the inking.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
2. Apply ink in a light color.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
3. Them move the stencil a few millimeter to the right – enought to see some un-inked paper. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\"\"
4. Add more ink, this time with a darker color. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
5. When you lift up the stencil, you’ll see that the triangles already look dimentional.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
6. If you want more dept\/dimention, you can repeat the process, and add a third and darker color.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\"\"
7. After three moves\/layers, you can add some black shadow to the darkes side, just follow the stencil lines. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
8. You can use a waterbrush to smoothen the black lines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
9. Remove the stencil – and voila! You’ve made dimentional looking triangels only by using a stencil!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\"\"
10. Stamp a motif on top of the triangles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
11. Add a text and mount it all together as a card.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
12. You’ve made a “flat” card – but it looks dimentional. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This post is my last post as a member of the Rubber Dance Design Team. It’s been so much fun to be a part of the team and I love the designs, both the stamps and the stencils. I hope you all will continue to support and by products from Susanne and I’ll keep an eye on any post on Instagram with the #rubberdance – keep inspiring eachother! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best wishes from \u00c5shild<\/p>\n\n\n\n
