Shimmer, Texture & Creative Play with Stencil Butters

 Hi creative friends!

I’m so excited to share today’s post with you — it’s all about shimmer, texture, and letting your creativity flow. If you love playing with color, layering, and bold backgrounds, you’re in the right place!

I’ve put together a visual showcase featuring unique background ideas using stencil butters and inks - no step-by-step instructions, just pure inspiration and creative flow.

You’ll see how different colors react under shimmer, how layering adds depth, and how easy it is to transform a simple blend into something magical. Whether you’re into cardmaking, journaling, or mixed media, these techniques are versatile and fun to explore.

I’m using stencil butters from Polkadoodles, and I have to say - the creamy texture and shine are absolutely addictive. Each background has its own personality, depending on the colors underneath and the stencil used.

Curious how it all comes together?

Until next time, happy crafting 💛
