How many have heard of Shadow Stamping? How many have heard of Shadow Stamping with a stencil?
Here are some videos to help you out if you are never heard of it
I have done Shadow Stamping in the past. You just stamp twice...once with a light color and once with a darker color but the 2nd time is off set just slightly from the 1st. It gives it a shadow look.
One of the videos shows how to Shadow Stamp with a stencil...something I have never tried so I did some experimenting.
I found, never use a light cardstock, as I could not tell where I stamped white. I stamped way off kilter. I might still use them some way...some how...on a card.
The sample I ended up using on my card was a Tree Stencil on a navy cardstock. First I inked white with a sponge and then over the top (slightly off from the white), I inked with a dark blue. You can tell where I inked because blue over the white became a lighter blue. I wished I had more Christmas stencils to experiment with.
Here is a close up. It looks like it is a shadow is on the front from a moon at the back of the trees. I think, if I did this again with the trees, I would stamp at a big distance so it would be more white and less dark.
After the ink dried, I got to thinking...could you emboss with a stencil? I did a search and found the out others have. Here is the recipe I used with my Big Shot
Platform
Plate
Rubber Mat
Paper
Stencil
Precision Base Plate
Here is the backside. It works but next time I would EMboss and not DEboss the image. Since I already had the front done, I had to place the stencil on top so I could match up the image with the stamped image which caused it to deboss.

Netta, amazing card!
Looks like the snow is just clinging to the trees!
Netta: Well done with the required technique and adding an additional!! The trees are amazing! Looks like a winter woods scene with snow plastering the side of each tree!!!
Your background is stunning Netta - now I want to try with a similar stencil I have! Sounds like you had fun with some new to you techniques - although the card doesn't look like a beginner at all. The die cut is great fun too - and goes perfectly. Great card!
J'adore ta carte Netta, elle est splendide, biz
