Have you tried this with Your alcohol markers?

Hi friends! Today I have a tip that will help you get more use from your alcohol markers and your stencils!

Supplies: (Affiliate links used)

• White cardstock (smooth)

• Alcohol markers (I am using this budget set of 80 from Art Beek because they are cheap and have a great selection of colors including pastels and skin/earth tones)

• Stencils (Martha Stewart) Doily (P.M. studio)

• If you don’t have self-adhesive stencils you might want stencil spray to make them tacky.

There are several reasons that I like this hack:

1. You can practice your marker blending.

2. You can get a look of freehand drawing.

3. You can easily move and layer up stencil images (see the macaron and flower image from the video) and create new, larger, and more complex compositions. It’s like stamp masking but quicker!

4. You can get the look of stamping, and stencils are cheaper to buy and easier to store than stamps.

5. Most of us have stencils.

I hope you give some of those seldom used stencils in your stash some love today and til next time happy crafting!
