Hi there! Laura here and today I'll be showing you how to create colorful background using stencils. I have a couple of colorful projects to share featuring the Grid & Cube Builder Stencils. These gorgeous new stencils make creating colorful backgrounds so effortless!
This first project showcases the Cube Builder Stencil. I'm in love with this stencil! The results are amazing and yet it is so easy to create. I used several Altenew inks to make a rainbow pattern.
The sentiments are from the Simple Flowers stamp set.
This next project uses the Grid Stencil along with the Baby Zoo stamp set. For the Grid background I blended in Midnight Violet, Sapphire, Persian Blue, Caribbean Sky & Arctic.
Here's a video to show you how I created these cards.
