Finished the card by stamping a silhouette image of leaves (Soulful Silhouettes from Penny Black) and hello (Many Everyday Messages - Hero Arts) sentiment. I love the layering that Eileen does in her work, and I'm enjoying trying it for myself more and more.

ReplyDeleteThe three colours look very pretty together Loll and love the lines and flower stencilling and the strong look of the black silhouette leaves and sentiment over the top. A super card! x
ReplyDeleteAnother very pretty card Loll. x
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous! It's your colors that make this one pop. This is my latest go-to technique too. What an outstanding job you did on this- so bright and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely technique Loll and it looks like you are mastering it! I like the softness it brings to the background!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous mix of colors and design in this background, Lolly! The perfect silhouette for this background too!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful card, Loll! Your soft sponging is so pretty and I love the silhouette of leaves...so striking! xx
ReplyDeleteLove your sponged straight edge background, color choices and sweet stenciled daisies. Beautiful background for your stamped PB silhouette image. Your stamped hello was the perfect final touch. I was just thinking today about using this technique again:-) TFS and always inspiring me, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - the sponging and stencilling really layered up well, and provided a wonderful background for the silhouette. I must do this technique again as I like it so much.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous layers of stencils, Loll! The black leaf silhouette and the sentiment beautifully pop against the soft background. Sounds like your zoom call crafting session was fun and productive!

I'm loving all your stylistic cards Loll! This is a stunner! I'll have to try this:) Thanks so much for joining us at PBSC.

Another gorgeous card with this lovely technique that I have yet to try! The colours and stencilling are beautiful. The black silhouette is the perfect contrast.
ReplyDeleteThis is a ray of sunshine, I love all those stencilled shade of colours, it fits perfectly with the AAA Cards silhouette challenge ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Dear Loll, wishing the best for this awkward year ahead. Maybe they'll let us out sooner than later. Miss you dearly, take care xx
I love softness of the stencil blending bright colours. The hard edge gives the impression of a piece of vellum. The silhouette image is the theme over at AAA cards.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year dear friend, I've been busy yet staying well in this second awkward year. Wishing you the best for you and the family. Jessy is certainly an asset filled with love. xx
So eyecatching, I love the way there is soft prettiness behind and bold prettiness in front.
ReplyDeleteWow, love how beautiful this card is Loll! This technique you ladies did on your zoom call is just stunning. I love the colors you used, so bright and cheery, like the sun is shinning down. The leaf silhouette stamped on top is perfect. Love, love, love this card! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI've seen this type of sponging from years back and now more recently. I really need to get more technique-y because this is so beautiful. Of course, you're very good with colors and clean cards, too. Love the crisp silhouette stamp on the pretty background.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Loll, love the colours they make the black silhouette really pop XX
ReplyDeleteYou executed all three steps of this fun technique so perfectly, Lolly! I love your choice of color, stencil, and silhouette for this cheery Hello design! I hope you have a great Sunday! Love, Dolly
ReplyDeleteStunning, Loll. I love this and can't wait to see your other cards. It is one of my favorite techniques and I was lucky to have a lot of Lavinia stamps to play with when we did this.
ReplyDeleteLove love love this one Loll. Beautiful simple but stunning layout. Super choice of colours too.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how you manage to create such beautiful backgrounds. It motivates me to try again and again to achieve the results you achieve. Sometimes I laugh at myself when I look at my results. And that's another positive from following your blog, hahaha. Beautiful background, beautiful colors and great contrast.
