Hi everyone. I needed to make six quick cards to send to friends and I wanted them to be the same design, just switching up the ink colours. I used a large bloom stencil and made the cards above in about 5 minutes per card. You gotta love that!! Super quick, easy and fun. I shared a CAS version HERE. I actually made these cards first, but wanted to wait until they were received before posting.
I'm also thrilled that today, my Stencil Sponging video goes live on Splitcoaststampers.com. My video shows how to sponge over stencils as I did above. Thanks to Dina for wanting to share my video with members of the Splitcoaststampers community!
Here's how I did it ...
I secured an A2 (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") white card front to my craft mat, placed the large bloom stencil over top, with it hanging off one side and secured it with temporary tape. Then I used sponges and distress ink to sponge over the stencil, starting with the lightest colour to cover the whole image, and the darker one added on top, just in the center. To finish I stamped a fun sentiment in black and then adhered the card front to a base.
Here's three more colour variations ...
L to R: 1) Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers; 2) Worn Lipstick & Ripe Persimmon; 3) Mustard Seed & Ripe Persimmon
I love how bright and cheerful these cards turned out. It was fun trying different colour combinations. :)

Fantastic stencilling Loll - and they are such pretty flowers in their gorgeous vibrant colours! Made me smile as we have had some glorious sunshine here the last few days - unheard of in the middle of the British winter!
