with my stripes border stencil...
you can...
use just one color of ink...
this is gathered twigs,
added with the blending tool...
you can add 2 colors to your art...
add your first color...
I used gathered twigs again...
then move the stencil over,
to cover the gathered twigs stripes...
then add the second color in the blank areas...
the second color is faded jeans...
do you want a multi colored border?
use the distress markers to ink each stripe...
or...
use the craft nib to pick up ink from the distress ink pads,
then add the colors that coordinate with your art...
your stripes can be horizontal...
or vertical...
or you can combine the 2...
to create a plaid border...
you can use them on journal pages...
as a subtle element in the background...
this is on Ranger's specialty stamping paper...
you can
vary the thickness of the stripes...
you can make the stripes more prominent...
on a journal page...
and you can use them on art parts too...
I'm having a blast with these stencils...
and I've only showed you how to use them with distress...
stay tuned for more fun stencil play...
I've got lots more ideas brewing...
have a wonderful inky weekend...
I'm off to design more stencils so we can...
make art!

ps...
the BEARS suck BIG TIME...

Love these stencils...hope mine come today so I can play! I agree, the Bears did a lot of trash talking before the game but Clay Matthews made them eat their words. I don't care for him, per se, but he is one heckuva Packer.
Perfect timing for this post! I just received 5 of your stencils, including this one! Gotta go play!
Fabulous Wendy. I love these stencils so much - I can't wait to get my hands on them!!
