Good morning.
Today we are introducing a stencil AND a stamp set. The layering stencil echoes the stamp set as you can see from the card below.
I used all 4 layers of the stencil to create an all over pattern on A5 panel of white card with Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves DI for the blossom and Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn DI for the leaves and stems. I cut an A6 panel from the larger one and put to one side for later use ;)!
Using the stamps, I stamped a one of each of the blossom flowers and coloured with matching Copic markers before fussy cutting out. I added a few dots of white gel pen to the centers of all the flowers as well as some around the anthers of the stamped ones.
I had a panel of linen effect card that had managed to get some ink on it and as I can no longer get it from my supplier I wanted to use it up, so cut away the marked section and created two strips. On the reverse of the marked strip, I inked with a mix of the pinks to create a couple of strips which I stuck along the edge of the textured white panels.
To put the card together, I glued the textured panels over the stencil one, adding the Copic coloured blooms to cover any open areas. A simple sentiment strip using the stamp set completes.
Here is a card I made using my masking fluid resist and snappy wrap technique.
Bev has designed these blooms to be used with stems but for this I just used the two flower heads.
I saw a video on You Tube one wet Sunday afternoon and now I can't stop making cards this way, this time I've turned the flowers into crab apple blossom! I stamped and masked the two blooms, then added a couple of buds and sketched in some branches. Watercolour was used to create the background and the detail in the blossom but you could use Brusho for the background and DI for the detail or even a mix of all three!
My panel was mounted behind a die cut woodgrain frame, a pressie from Santa and it's first outing, and then onto a matching textured off white card base.
For more inspiration why not check out what the rest of the BAs have been up to.
Beautiful cards once again. Love the ones you have raised up on the first card, they really add lovely dimension. And the second is just wow! X
