Die-cut machines are useful for more than just cutting die shapes or using embossing folders; they also work great with stencils. You just need to get the correct sandwich layers to make an impression on your card as you run it through your machine, and your stencil needs to be no wider than your machine opening. This technique utilises stencils and pre-inked cards to create a resist technique that makes wonderful backgrounds for images or other die-cuts. I used Bristol smooth cardstock for the base of these and Distress Inks to add the colour, not Oxide inks; the Distress Inks worked better.

I love the colours in this, and it turned out better than I thought it would.
