I added some chipboard scraps to the back of this panel.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I then added my circle halves to the front of the card starting with the largest circle and working my way down to the smaller aligning the top circles to the right and the borrow circles to the left.

I am going to use this as a patterned paper on the layout</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">I am using some white cardstock for my background. To add a little interest I splattered Tattered Angels Chalkboard <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=587_856" target="_blank">spray</a> in Valencia all over it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">I cut an assortment of different sized squares from <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=86_745_937&products_id=6118" target="_blank">Simple Stories - Hello summer - Catching Rays</a>, <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=86_745_937&products_id=6120" target="_blank">Simple Stories - Hello Summer - Life is Good</a> and <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=86_473_991&products_id=6610" target="_blank">Kaisercraft - Native Breeze - Native Flock</a> and the orange cardstock with the added texture paste.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">To create the triangles I marked the middle of one side of each square and then cut from the two corners on the opposite edge to the centre mark. I cut approx 10 squares to begin with and placed them onto the layout leaving a thin white border between each triangle then I cut more triangles as I needed them to fill in the design and extend it out to the size I needed so the triangles were visible around each edge of the photo. Once I was happy with the placement of the triangles I inked the edges and attached them to the background using glue. I used my T-Ruler to make sure the first triangle was straight so all of the other triangles would be straight as I lined them up.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTRed2cxvIr-9tf21J7Uq_1OsBrFcMa3JpAbvy3EbKAfyasxTqpf0fHYfd3vPFN7n2Bq98zqRrHnShOZCgiGPH4xMKqzqKgIGIoDpNn53eXMAJjwLFf0hSQW1cAov5EQ3xNIhJkIaawlQ/s2048/Sunset+On+The+Nile+Closeup+1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTRed2cxvIr-9tf21J7Uq_1OsBrFcMa3JpAbvy3EbKAfyasxTqpf0fHYfd3vPFN7n2Bq98zqRrHnShOZCgiGPH4xMKqzqKgIGIoDpNn53eXMAJjwLFf0hSQW1cAov5EQ3xNIhJkIaawlQ/w400-h300/Sunset+On+The+Nile+Closeup+1.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">The photo measures 8" x 4.5".

I love adding texture and dimension to my projects.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS6hZabQmAxgk6Jh7ikHLwSba3-NTrO85TaVfFImYxXyIc_CQNOcu1IK5vTSsKoB9EHR-DJboAM0LCggUfdvnUR7JqSDivKHsVYFbzvAEX0PwJXSzeN8nzyekA7pzw0BIada6EI_gXMbU/s2048/Four+Stencil+Techniques.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1027" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS6hZabQmAxgk6Jh7ikHLwSba3-NTrO85TaVfFImYxXyIc_CQNOcu1IK5vTSsKoB9EHR-DJboAM0LCggUfdvnUR7JqSDivKHsVYFbzvAEX0PwJXSzeN8nzyekA7pzw0BIada6EI_gXMbU/w640-h320/Four+Stencil+Techniques.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have made samplers to demonstrate these techniques. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I cut a 12" x 12" piece of smooth <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65_893&products_id=5859" target="_blank">white cardstock</a> into 6" squares to use as my base. I will probably cut these up and use them on card projects in the future.</div></div><p style="text-align: center;">I clean my <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=797&zenid=gq6fn9g0irhhcccl577krtpel2" target="_blank">stencils</a> as soon as I have finished each project because I do not want any of the product to dry on the stencil and make it harder to keep my stencil flat on future projects. </p><p style="text-align: center;">To get a nice clean edge to your stencilling projects it is very important to make sure your <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=797&zenid=gq6fn9g0irhhcccl577krtpel2" target="_blank">stencil</a> sits flat on your cardstock. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I use a soft scrubbing brush and warm water in the sink to clean them. This could cause blockages in the plumbing if you are using your stencils continuously but I figure that for the number of time I use them I can probably get away with it. Time will tell I guess.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Starting from the left hand sample I have used <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=587_868&products_id=5890" target="_blank">Matisse Impasto Medium</a>, which dries clear, and put that through my <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=797_832" target="_blank">Kaisercraft "Textures" stenci</a>l. While the paste is still wet and in place I sprinkled <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=740_961&products_id=6326" target="_blank">Dress My Crafts Frosted Sugar Powder</a> over it and pressed it into the medium using my brayer. The excess was tipped back into the bottle and the stencil removed. The<a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=740_961&products_id=6326" target="_blank"> Frosted Sugar Powder</a> will not come off once the medium is dry as it has been firmly adhered. You could also use <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=740_961&products_id=6888" target="_blank">glitter</a>, confetti and glass beads in the same way.</p><div><div style="text-align: center;">The second sample is using Colour Blast Colour Pastes through the same <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=797_832" target="_blank">Kaisercraft stencil.</a> The stencil is one of those that has 4 designs in the one 12" x 12" stencil.</div><div style="text-align: center;">This technique shows that you can use any <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=587_868" target="_blank">paste </a>with a stencil. Mostly I use <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=587_868&products_id=5891" target="_blank">Modelling Paste</a> which I colour with <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=587_604" target="_blank">acrylic paints</a> to suit the project I am working on.

The gel goes on white and when it is dry it is clear. Once it is dry I laid <a href="http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=876" target="_blank">Fab Foil</a>, patterned side up, on top of the cardstock and ran my brayer over the foil to transfer the gold to the gel.
