Glue Stick Resist with Stencils

[stampwilly]

I tried this technique -- Glue Stick Resist with stencils and it sure looked easy in the video, but not so much!!!

You are to take glue stick and rub it over the stencils while holding it, then use glossy card stock, lay the stencil over it and swipe the glue with a paper towel, from the stencil into the holes of the stencil and the glue goes onto the card stock. Let this dry. I heat set mine a little. When dry, spray ink, 2-3 colors over the card stock and let dry. Use a baby wipe to wipe ink off glue areas. I had some problems --

1. I tried several glues and the Rose Art glue worked better. The lady used Tim Holtz glue stick and that is probably best.
2. Matte card stock does not work. I used glossy and it worked better, but she used Tim Holtz paper that might be best too! LOL!
3. When I wiped off the ink, a lot of times it did not wipe off well. The lady used all Dylusions inks where I used other kinds as well as theirs.

Anyway, I had 2 to turn out pretty well from the 5-6 I started with.

You can see my samples here. The first picture is right after I sprayed them and was letting them dry. The second is of the 2 that turned out pretty well after I wiped off the ink.

Using glossy card stock!  Do you think using glossy card stock makes this technique any easier than doing on regular CS?

I remember when you had this as one of the challenges on 2peas at one of our festivals and I had the hardest time getting it to work on my CS.   Last week I actually ran across some of the butterflies I kept that did work with the technique!  When I saw the butterflies, I remember thinking, "oh that was a hard technique.."   

I'll have to try this on photo paper and see what it does!
