Hi everyone. Back again today with another sunflower stencil card. I'm having a lot of fun figuring out different ways to use my new stencil I received as a gift from Bonnie. And I used a fun word die for the sentiment, sent to me by my friend Barb. I'm so spoiled! :)
Yesterday I shared THIS CARD, using the stencil with a sprayed background and Brushos to colour the sunflower. Today I have a more delicate image of the sunflower, done by sponging the background with two distress inks (spiced marmalade and worn lipstick), then using the ghosting technique to remove colour to create a soft and subtle design. Another fun way to use this stencil and I'll have more to share soon. :)
Again, playing along with Time Out Challenge #61 - Inspired by Words ("Wherever you go, no matter the weather, always bring your own sunshine").
Thanks for stopping by.

Ok I looked at this card and then glimpsed the last one out of the corner of my eye, so naturally had to go drool over that piece of wonder, too! Let's just say you sure know how to work a stencil!
ReplyDeleteOMG, this is stunning Loll!! Wow, just love it and the previous one too!!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying learning from you, Loll. I love stencils as you do, so your techniques are very, very welcome to me - a mere newbie still! Love this gentle looking card. X
ReplyDeleteAnother beauty Loll.
ReplyDeleteCertainly put a smile on my face. I have been immersed in Wimbledon tennis this aft after the hairdressers and Al out on the tractor. I love watching the doubles, it's something I can relate to more than the singles. Murray won and will face your compatriot in the final on Sunday! :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous Loll! I wish my colour lifting technique was as successful as yours . . . perhaps I'll give it another go! Thanks for the inspiration! Have a lovely evening! Hazel xx
