TLC755 ~ Acrylic Stencil Deboss ~ {8/12/19}

[StampingQueenJAR]

Hello friends!
It's time for a new Technique Lovers Challenge! Pull out your stencils and paints! We are going to try Dina's Acrylic Stencil Deboss.

Sounds like some messy fun to me! You can follow her step by step instructions, and watch the video to see how see made her beautiful cards (see the thumbnails).

Mine isn't quite dry, as I started late due to illness today, but hopefully tomorrow I can upload it and also take a peek at your beautiful creations!

Upload to this gallery (unless you're combining with a DTGD Challenge!):
Home > Technique Spotlight > Acrulic Stencil Deboss

We have a bit of a storm coming, with heavy winds/rain, so I better get this posted! Have fun and see you in the gallery tomorrow!

I did this one as the Wednesday tutorial this week. If I have time I'll try to do another from the other backgrounds I made.

Do you think it matters if you deboss a stencil or if you use an embossing folder?

Having embossed with stencils before (I featured just that as a TLC a couple of years back), it does give a lower relief ethan using folders, so the effect would be slightly different. But if you don't have stencils I'm sure it would be fine to play along with an embossing folder instead. Unless you apply the paint quite thickly, I imagine you'd end up with a little more open white space.


I always have to go back to my sample for that challenge to check the exact sandwich I used, but I do know I found a piece of felt worked better for me than the tan embossing mat.

And now having tried it, yes, it's a totally different effect to using acrylics on a piece embossed with a folder. This one is almost like a resist, the way the stencil outline comes out.

Here's what I made: TLC755 Wildflower Sympathy

So glad you featured it, Judy. (I would have soon if you hadn't ;-).

It is cool. I was amazed at how it came out. Kind of like a resist effect.
I don't imagine that the thickness of the stencil would matter except in terms of experimenting with shims. When I featured dry embossing with stencils as a TLC I did quite a bit of research. Even though I had the silicone mat and the Sizzix embossing plate, a square of felt worked best for me ( sandwich described in my upload for this challenge). But, and I felt bad, a couple of people said their stencils had got damaged in that challenge and if I recall, one person might have said it broke her Cuttlebug. Which I hadn't been able to check myself, not having one. In my write-up I'd just had to go by what I found online.

Such a fun and easy technique to try, thank you, Judy! Everyday Flowers

Had a messy play and here is my card

[JBgreendawn]

I love that the stencil stays clean.
this one was the first attempt and its not as easy to see as the second one (that I have not used as of yet) but, I did enjoy this one

I'm still totally fascinated by the end result of this. I didn't want to waste the acrylic paints in my petri dish from yesterday's challenge, so I scraped them out and made another card using this technique.
