Hi Everyone, I've been playing with some stencils and Nuance Powders. This technique gives you a twofer, one with the powders sprinkled through the stencil and the second as a monoprint.
I placed the stencil on a piece of water colour card sprinkled nuance powders over the open areas and over some of the solid areas. Once I was happy with the amount of powder I spritzed with water which activates the powdered colour particles. I place the card on something to elevate it off my work counter to make it easier to remove once it has been spritzed with water. When the stencil has been removed use a piece of kitchen roll to blot up the excess water. I stamped a little script in the white space around the stenciled area and outlined the edge with a gold marker to create a faux mat.
This is the second print. I placed the spritzed stencil on another piece of card lay a piece of kitchen roll over it to absorb the excess colour seeping through the stencil. I outlined the birds using the stencil with a black pen once I had dried the ink and then added the gold pen over the black to tone it down a little. I love the inky background a stencil monoprint gives.
While I was at it I made a couple of Christmas cards using the same technique. there was so much ink on the stencil I made a second monoprint by spritzing again with water.

LOVE the colours you've used on your first set of prints. That stencil is so special!! Great idea to outline the birds on your monoprint so they stand out. Beautiful Christmas cards using the lovely poinsettia stencil!
