How to Add Alcohol Marker Details to Layering Stencils
Take your stenciled florals from quick and pretty to detailed and dimensional with a few strategic alcohol marker shadows.
Hi crafty friends! Layering stencils make coloring florals incredibly fast, but sometimes I still want a little more depth and detail. In this video, I’m sharing how to add alcohol marker details to layering stencils using the Harvest Blooms stamps, dies, and stencils from Honey Bee Stamps for a bold autumn floral card.

I love this technique because it lets you decide how simple or detailed you want your stenciling to be. You can stop after the stencil layers for a quick card, or you can take a few extra minutes to add alcohol marker details to layering stencils for deeper shadows, petal definition, and more realistic dimension. It is such an easy way to stretch your layering stencils and make your finished florals feel more custom.
Have you ever added alcohol marker details over your layering stencils? I’d love to know what floral set you would try this with first.
Happy crafting!
