You can cut paper to create stencils that you can reuse over and over if you wish to spray paint the design onto your cardstock or you can glue (using rubber cement) the stencil onto the card as I did in the above picture.
You can cut your own stencils or you can buy them at the store.
To cut your own stencils find a design that you like (or create your own) open up the design that you chose on a photo editing program (Such as Gimp) and change the opacity so that the black lines turn into a gray that is light enough to see. This will save you a lot of ink and make it harder to see the lines when looking at that side once the gray is cut out.
Make sure your blade on your x-acto knife is not dull or you will tear the paper
