Hello everyone! Welcome to my stop as a guest for Altenew’s July Stencil Release blog hop! If you have already been hopping along, you should have arrived from Enza Gudor’s blog.
There are many ways you can use stencils, but today I will be sharing a 3 variations to working with stencils, all paired with Copic markers. Copics are alcohol-based, which means that when colored on Yupo paper, they react just like alcohol inks.
I created a total of three, abstract designs; in the video above, you can learn how I built each one. Because the techniques are easy but involved, I did not include how I finished each card in the video. All the details on the finishing touches are explained below!

The serene colors in the background, using the Spring Garden stencil, really inspire me! I loosely watercolored some Starry Flowers florals in similar color tones and layered those onto the background with Like Magic sequins from Neat & Tangled.

Altenew’s Hope stamp and die set was perfect for the sentiments on this card; I cut the die from Lavender cardstock and white embossed the sentiment onto Soft Navy cardstock. Finally, I used Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to add a dome-effect on the sequins.

This next card has a bold, feminine feel; I was really pleased with how the Molded Lines stenciled background paired with another Altenew set, the Rose Filament dies. These loose floral silhouettes are cut with white cardstock 4 times and adhered to the background.

I cut a few letters from Altenew’s Bold Caps Alphabet set and Tonic Studios’ Copper Mine mirror card, spelling out the word “you”. I gold heat embossed a couple of supporting sentiments onto colored cardstock, using the Just Because stamp set.

The final finishing touch on this beauty was adding some sequins. I adore the Light and Luminous and Peach Beach sequins mixes, both of which I have scattered onto this card. Each sequin had a layer of Morning Dew Nuvo Drops over top for that special bit of embellishing.

The last card I made for this release is by far my favorite! I was really pleased with the combination of movement and texture this City Scene stenciled background has. I die cut an entire sentiment with Altenew’s Fine Alphabet and Simple Alpha letter die sets. I cut them from three colors of Tonic Studios mirror card (Silky Sky, Purple Mist and Frosted Silver), as I love how the satin finish contrasted with the background.

To add a bit of additional interest to this scene, I splattered on some white spray ink from Altenew, and adhered Pretty Pink Posh star confetti in random places. You can’t possibly have a night sky without stars!

wow, I’ve used alcohol inks to make coasters etc, but I haven’t even thought of it for card making (which I’m a newbie at) – your cards are amazing. I’m so happy to have stumbled upon this blog hop and discovered so many fabulous new blog(gers) to follow!
These cards are so vibrant and beautiful. I love them all, but the city scene stencil card has to be my favorite, for I love that stencil! :)
Oh WOWZA! I LOVE this rich, deep, saturated color! Each card is a work of art, but your dare to Dream card has my heart aflutter! I am amazed at how beautiful this looks, and how much I love this beautiful design! Perfect in every way!

Amazing cards! Love each one of them.
Wow! A triple! Each card is striking! You have A lot of talent!
Beautiful work, as always.
I like the blending of color you showed
Gorgeous cards! Great way to get more out of my Copics. The cityscape one is my fave.
oh my your cards are amazing – they are so vibrant and beautifully designed:)
Oh, I am going to dig out my rarely used Copics and give some of these techniques a try! At first I wasn’t sure I would like this artsy look, but the finished cards show how amazing your techniques are. Thanks for some amazing inspiration! I will be coming back to our videos often as I try out these new (for me) skills!
They are all extra amazing cards.. so pretty and beyond gorgeous.
I never thought to use the copic markers on yupo – I’ve used the copic reinkers before make backgrounds – going to you technique a go right now – beautiful cards Nina-Marie and thanks for the ideas!
Your ‘Dare to Dream’ card is my favorite, too! It has that WOW factor
for sure. All of your cards are simply gorgeous.
Amazing backgrounds!! I love the effects you created with alcohol inks!’
These are some more spectacular and unique stencils. Love the amazing results that you achieved with these using alcohol inks, and I already have some on my wish list. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love your cards, the You are Fabulous is my favorite, love the colors!
Beautiful cards with lovely backgrounds. I love your card with the City Scene stencil.
Your cards are beautiful !
Yummy! I learned so much from your video. Love the abstract look- it’s like having all new stencils! Very cool!
Wow! All of the cards are so unique! Can’t pick a favorite! I love the use of alcohol ink with stencils!
Another great technique, Nina. I love these new stencils from Altenew. I don’t have Copics but I do have Spectrum Noir markers which I assume will work (we’ll see). I also have Yupo paper. I’m off to play!
Your beautiful projects always impress me. What a great job! So pretty!
Oh you are such a kick…..loved watching that informative video…thank you so much….All of your cards were great!!! I do have some copics and also Yupo paper which I have not tried yet…..I think I need to get some of these new stencils and put them to work…thank you so much for the fun day!!!
New to alcohol inking but your cards are glorious and an inspiration. Love the Spring Garden stencil and the colors you chose for that floral card. Thanks for the creative inspiration.
Stunning cards Nina Marie. The alcohol ink designs are terrific. Love the city sky line stencil :)
Thanks for sharing your techniques. Your cards are lovely! I just love the background of that Cityscape card. It is gorgeous!
Beautiful cards and I love the ways you used the stencils! Gorgeous colors and I love the watercolor one!
Absolutely beautiful cards, as always Nina! You’re so talented <3
Your colors and creativity wow me! Thanks for the inspiration!
Amazing techniques!!
Lovely! The blues are so pretty with the flowers and the city sky is gorgeous.
Gorgeous cards!
Absolutely gorgeous! You are extremely talented and being such a bright light to crafting!
Oh my goodness… those backgrounds! I need to watch the video now. Love seeing new ways to embellish on alcohol ink backgrounds! Thanks, Nina!
Ooooh, my favorite products to work with, can’t wait to try!
You are so imaginative! What great ways to use these stencils and so many of the stamps and dies that I already have in my stash. Thanks! I always look forward to your videos.
Absolutely beautiful set of cards. Loved all of them! Thank you much for inspiring and for the opportunity to win!
I am awed by your skill and your imagination. You took these stencils over the top and the cityscape is extraordinary to say the least.
Such bright and uplifting cards!! Love them all
Wow, such gorgeous cards! Your techniques are amazing!
Love the first card so much!! Great colors and I love the subtle use of the stencil.
Such fun techniques and cards. TFS!
Wow – love all of them. Thanks for the tips about copic markers and yupo paper – I did not know that. Just never make the connection. I love the dramatic scene of your first card, and then your second card is just so stunning and then what followed was just as amazing. Can’t wait to watch your video, I’m so excited! Great designs!
Wow Nina Marie! You have completely “hit the ball out of the park”, as the saying goes with these cards. I thank you so much for your video. I have some copic markers but really haven’t used them much as I need tons more practice with blending. I’m wondering if straight 91% rubbing alcohol would work? All of your cards are fantastic! I especially love the You Are Fabulous card you made. The colours underneath, the rose die & the small sentiment under Fabulous are just perfect.
Wow your creations are awesome.
Gorgeous, bright and fun – like all your amazing projects!!!
I am in love with that city card!!
I’ve just ordered my first alcohol ink supplies and I can’t wait to try your techniques with them! Your colors are so vibrant; I especially love the blue and lavender.
