Grab your stencil. The Stencil1 Valentine’s Stencil 3-Pack has 3 different designs for you to choose from. Choose 1, or 2, or all 3! Here, we’re using the “I love you” stencil.

Load up your brush in the ink pad. Here, we’re using ClearSnap’s Colorbox Ink Pad in Cranberry. Using an ink pad, rather than paint, makes it so much easier and cleaner to stencil! Say goodbye to paint running underneath the stencil, and say hello to cleaner edges!

Add a second color. Here, we’re also using the ClearSnap’s Colorbox Ink Pad in a metallic gold to add more dimension to the card. Add more layers of ink to build color intensity.

Once all areas have been painted, remove the stencil to reveal the final piece!

On the envelope, choose another stencil! Here, we used the heart and arrow stencil. Here, we left the center of the heart empty, and built the color towards the edges of the heart for an airbrushed look.
