This all started for me after seeing Nancy's BEAUTIFUL stenciled card HERE, and of course I had to go to the store to get the stencil Nancy used, and you know what happens next, right??!! Yep, found all kinds of beautiful stencils and they flew right into my shopping cart! Thanks Nancy!! (I was SO impressed with the speed in which my order was shipped too...thank you, thank you!!) So anyway, my card today uses the BLOOMDALASCOPIC1 stencil and here's what I came up with:
This card actually started out as just a trial run to see what it would look like, and I loved it so much that it went right into a card! I used Pixie Spray to lightly tack the back of the stencil and then used my blender brushes and some Gina K inks over the off center stencil (I really need to make a square card next time so I can use the whole stencil). I trimmed my stenciled layer to 5 1/4" x 4" and then attached to a white card base.
My sentiment was stamped using Altenew's Best Sentiments and attached with foam tape for a bit of dimension. I thought about adding some bling at this point, but really just loved the CAS look with all the beautifully blended colors...the stencil truly did all the work on this card!
The DT has some absolutely GORGEOUS cards as inspiration for you, so check it out and play along with this challenge right HERE. And maybe go shopping too...SOOOOOO many beautiful stencils at STAMPLORATIONS!!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
