Vellum turns white where it stretches. Hand emboss with a stylus, move the stencil and keep repeating portions of the stencil.
You can practice on any stencil I bring. This one is Higa shi Yokujuo Fuji A12.

Heated foam can be pressed into a stencil to form a stamp. This is such a fun option with stencils. This is the Hana Kaji A16.

Using a stipple brush and pigment inks, you can blend colors through the stencil. This is the hollyhock, Kawari Aoi Kiri A47

This slick daruma-san is made from blue pearl embossing powder. First dry emboss the paper. Without removing the stencil, tamp on ink. Remove the stencil, pour on embossing powder and melt with a heat tool. Very cool!
