Three stencils were used on the panel. Started out by smooshing a background of purple and red. Then added more red by stenciling through a mini dot stencil. Next a pretty star and circle shaped stencil was used on opposite corners with more purple. Last, the bird was sponged through a stencil in dark brown. I stamped a little bit of script over the bird and heat embossed in liquid platinum to give him a lift ... he was looking rather flat just the one colour. :)
I added a backing panel that was 1/2" longer so I could stamp my sentiment. This card was sent to a friend's husband who was in a terrible skiing accident. Wanted to let him know I was thinking of him. Thankfully his recovery has been going well.
Thanks for coming by!
