Black and White Only

Welcome

There is a new challenge at Word Art Wednesday starting today, and our  wonderful sponsors are 
Stix2 Anything  with a package of their products - and I can say their product is wonderful, having once won a package!!

I wanted to teach this technique (taught by Natasha Foote) at my class yesterday, so decided I would use it for this card for demonstration purposes as well, as I was running a bit late in the making of it, so it was a two for one effort.


With the scripture having a masculine edge to it, I chose this stencil with the gears on, which turned out to be rather spectacular done in black on white


I have found when I did this one other time, to stop the stencilled pieces from getting lost on the background, I wiped the edges across the black ink pad - I also did that to the edge of the card base as well.  I have tried to show this in the photo below.  
I mounted the panel using clear foam tape from Stix2 Anything, and the dimension shows in this photo also.


I did finish the inside with some finely printed black and white washi tape, but the camera would not focus on it and all the images were blurred.

I am linking this to:

Black and white cards are always so elegant looking to me. I love this one Maxine! I love the masculine vibe and the scripture, it works so well with the stenciled gears. A great tip about edging the stenciled areas with black. I will have to keep that in mind! Hugs, Brenda

Such a shame we could not see the inside, I love how you always carry the theme on throughout the card.
Not to worry though as we had lots to see on the front of the card. Yes, a great idea to use the cogs stencil, it works so well with the sentiment and I love how you did the edges.
Blessings, Neet xx
