We're so excited to bring this set to you... Gnomes!! This four piece stencil set allows you to make 27 different gnomes. Yes 27! The stencil set has 3 different bodies, 3 different hats and 3 different beards/hair (there are two beards and one ponytail hair).
Here's a basic way of using the set.
What I'm using for this project...
* The Gnome Layering Stencil from LoveAll Crafts
* Distress Oxide Ink
* Blending brushes
* An Anita's 5x5 inch white card base
* Painters tape or a low tack tape to keep stencils and masks in place
Let's get Crafting!
1. I like to start by using the masks to make sure my gnome will fit on the page I'm working on and that I get the correct positing. You get all the inner masks with this set so to help you build the gnome.
2. When you're happy with the positioning you need to start with the nose. There are 3 different noses available in this set (which actually means there are 81 different gnomes you can build!)
3. Use the mask to cover the nose. I use a bit of painters tape but be careful - if the ink is wet the tape might not stick very well but also might remove some of the ink!
4. Choose your beard or hair, lay it over the top of the nose - position wise is up to you, you can completely cover the nose, partially cover it, or not cover it at all - the choice is up to you! I'm going partially covered here...
5. Ink it up!
6. Cover with the appropriate mask
7. Choose which body you'd like and place the stencil down in the position you'd like
8. If you'd like to add a pattern to the body, keep the body stencil down and place the spots or stripes (or any stencil you have and want to use!) over the top. And Ink...
9. Next choose which hat you'd like to use, put down the stencil and ink.
10. If you'd like some texture, keep the hat stencil down and place your texture stencil over the top. This time I'm using the spots that come with the gnome set.
11. Remove all of your masks and stencils and hey presto! A gnome!
Now to turn this gnome into a card...
I'm using all of the masks to cover the image and then adding the LoveAll Crafts Square Frame over the top.
I'm then inking with Distress Inks in Candied Apple, Mermaid Lagoon and Fossilised Amber
I'm then stamp a Congratulations stamp from the Stampin' Up Bravo Set and remove the masks.
I like to ink around by stencil to give a bit more definition and hide any white lines.
And finished with a little gold bauble for his hat
and here we go!
Here's a few more quick cards:
