Layered Stenciling tends to be pretty busy. I made my panel and then cut it down to a smaller size so there would be lots of white space in the background. Luckily I had still left it a little long, because I first heat embossed the sentiment in white and it didn't go well. I had to cut off the bottom and ended up with this smaller panel. :) It worked out in the end. Even with the sentiment in black, it's a little difficult to read it with all the pattern in-behind.
The main panel is done on watercolour paper. First I smooshed together Broken China (Distress Oxide) with Twisted Citron (Distress Ink). I placed the Clock stencil over top and sponged on Salty Ocean. Next I took a piece of drywall tape and sponged on white distress paint over top in a couple of spots. I used more drywall tape with Peacock Feathers ink to sponge a little background on the card base that is peeking out from under the main panel.

Love your card Loll and a perfect sentiment for either male or female

Absolutely gorgeous card, Loll! I love your color palette and how you stenciled into the white space! Love the pattern of the clocks, too...so striking!
What a gorgeous colourway. Love how one of the stencils goes over onto the card base....eye catching detail x Also love how you used the drywall and sponged in white and then in peacock feathers. Thank you for the inspiration.
It looks like you were channeling Karen, Loll. The drywall stenciling outside the main image was a great touch and the color combinations are terrific.
wow Loll, love the blue and green cololour combo, and your stenciling behind hour panel frames it perfectly. Awesome card
Oh WOW! Loll this is gorgeous. What fabulous stenciling on the main panel but really love how you have got a touch showing behind it on your card stock. Lovely soft colours. Love your sentiment as it is so true. Looks great in black.
Fabulous card, Loll, I love the colours of the gorgeous stencilled panel and what a great sentiment! xx
I love these colors together, my friend! And I don't have any trouble reading the sentiment. I really like the stenciling peeking out from around the main design image! Very nice!
Love this! Those blues & greens make me happy--
A wonderful mix of stencils Loll - the green and blue are both so vibrant and give great dimension to your design! Great idea to stencil behind the panel as well! You're so clever!! Julia xx
Fabulous Loll! You truly are an inspiration! LOVE it! Have a great week my friend! Love & Hugs. Hazel xx

What I love about your style is that you use mixed media technique and still manage to make an uncluttered CAS card out of it! And here you did it again! This card looks fantastic and I love how you stenciled a little on the white card, too!
This is really something, Loll! Love the stenciling on this as well as the fact that you carried it over just a bit outside the focal! This one is a feast for the eyes! I looked at it for quite a while taking it all in. Fabulous color combination!
Wonderful stencilling. Love how you carried the stencilling outside the main image for a cool design. Beautiful card once again, Loll.
Your panel may be busy Loll, but your card is stunning! Love the subtle stenciling on the background - it really grounded your panel as well as adding just that tad more interest.
Blessings

I love how you took the colour outside of the main image, Loll, a lovely touch. The stencilled panel is just yummy, and blue and green is one of my favourite combos. x
This card looks amazing, Loll! I love the colors and the layered stencils. The stenciling beyond onto the cardbase adds great visual interest. I really like this card! Yu did a great job!
I love your sponged blue and green inks for your background and then began your fun and creative sponged stenciling. You chose the Perfect sentiment to go with your stenciled background! I had no problem reading your sentiment. I like how you added a bit more dry wall stenciling behind your main image too. TFS Loll. Hugs
Ajaaj! Great colors, Loll. My beloved :-)) You so beautifully used various templates to create this wonderful card. I love how part of the image moves to the main panel of the card. This is a very beautiful card!
Hugs,

Fabulous colours, Loll ... love how you carried the stencilling over from the panel to the card base! Hugs, Anita :)
Love how you’ve extended the drywall tape stencilling beyond the panel!
Beautiful layers of colors, Loll! I love the stenciling peeking out from under the panel! I never though of using drywall tape as a stencil. It's such a clever idea. Now I see daily items with different eyes. Thank you so much for your inspiration! Hideko
Oh my goodness!! That's such a gorgeous card!! That background is stunning !!
A fabulous card Loll, and I just adore the colours which go together beautifully and love the clock stencil and the dry wall tape pattern in the background and the extra bit added to the base card too. x
Love this ... the blues and greens look amazing and I love the stencils you've used. Like the extra touch on the card too xx
