Welcome
This is a card that I taught last month using a stencil technique.
To start the sentiment area is masked and then the stencil placed and inked working from the masking out, fading out the further you go from the masked area, but not covering the card front completely.
I chose to 'mirror image' the stencil by flipping it over between the top and bottom of the masked area.
The sentiment was copper embossed, using a magazine freebie stamp
When mounting the stencilled panel, I added a wee snippet of copper paper in the top left and bottom right before adhering to the base - subtle, but a touch more of colour and texture.
I finished the inside with a strip of copper spotted washi tape.

Gorgeous Maxine. A great masculine card.
I love this masculine card Maxine! The cogs are so nicely done with your stencil. I learned some tips and tricks from you too! I never thought about masking off a portion where you want a sentiment to go and I really love the fade. Love those colors too. Hugs, Brenda
Perfect. Well done my friend.
Love this, so simple but packs a huge punch. Thanks for sharing it with us at Polkadoodles.
Love it! This was the year for stenciling for me. I had used them a tiny bit before (LOC) but this year I really discovered a love for them. Good for you teaching this fun technique 🥰 wishing you a Merry Christmas 🎄

Wonderful card. Great stencil work and so glad you shared over at Crafty Catz, Aud Sentiments, Colour crazy.
Great stencilling Maxine. What a great mancard. CarolG
A lovely technique which shows just what you can do with one simple stencil and an inkpad. I have not seen this done before but will be trying it out myself now. It is lovely.
Blessings, Neet xx
