It's time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin'. This fortnight we're asking you to use a stencil as part of your design (although you still need to include some stamping somewhere).
I treated myself to this Kristina Werner stencil from the last Concord & 9th release. It's a fair old size, so you can crop out the portion you like best if you're making a smaller card.
I would recommend using Pixie spray on the first layer as the area masking the stems it liable to move about while you're applying your ink. The other layers are less delicate and you wouldn't necessarily need to apply adhesive to them unless you really wanted to.
I used a number of different ink brands for my colours. The background is C&9th Pebble, applied with a very light hand using the first stencil. The leaves and stems were done using Gina K inks (Key Lime and Fresh Asparagus, if I remember rightly) and the flower centres were created with Pink Fresh Studio inks from the orange ink cube set. I wanted white flowers so I didn't use that stencil.
The inked panel was cropped down and matted onto cream and chocolate brown cardstock layers before applying to my card base. I white heat-embossed the stamped sentiment onto the same chocolate cardstock, cut it out with a rectangle die and glued it to my image.
We'd love you to play along with us this fortnight, so grab a cuppa and head over to the Sweet Stampin' blog for the challenge details and some great inspiration from the Team Wends Sweeties.
Enjoy your weekend!
