I followed one of Eileen Godwin's techniques for this card (click HERE for link to Eileen's video).
For the background I used a Flourish stencil from Tim Holtz. The Tulip stencil is one I cut with my silhouette cameo a few years back. The sentiment is from a retired set from Technique Tuesday.

I'm entering this card into the Just For Girls Challenge #566 - Use a stencil. I've actually used two on this card. :)
I will be back later this month with a few more cards using the techniques from today's session. Thanks for stopping by!

This is beautiful Loll and love the pretty more gentle tones for the background using this sponging technique in the video, and your silhouette tulips work so well as the focal image and a super sentiment too. x
Pretty card. I enjoyed watching the video...thanks for sharing!
Wow! This is lovely.
Lovely stencilled card Loll, pretty colours for the background - now I must watch the video... have a great day hugs Robyn
TFS your Gorgeous card, Lolly and the link to Eileen's video. I must try this beautiful technique. You have inspired my again, my sweet and creative friend. I love your pretty background and bold black heat embossed tulips. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Looks amazing Loll, I had so much fun on today's zoom get together :)
It turned out beautifully, Loll - your stencilling adds lovely texture. And of course, you used beautiful "Loll colours". I must get mine put together and enter it for CAS Mix Up "splatter" as I used a fair bit of splatter.
Fabulous background Loll, and I love the silhouette image you have created to finish your card. . I will be popping over to see the tutorial
Stay safe
Blessings

This is beautiful Loll. Lovely colour combo and I love the stencil xx
So pretty Loll. I am going to have to take a look at the video as this sponging technique is fab! x
This is simply amazing, I love that background and the colours with the gorgeous black contrast xx
So happy to know you're still gathering with friends via Zoom, Lol!
A beautiful example of the fun you girls have!

This is absolutely lovely Loll! I love the soft colors in the background and the silhouetted Tulips look FABULOUS against it! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
This is gorgeous Loll, beautiful stencils and how you used them. I love the effect of the background with your colours and then the black tulip stencil. I didn't know you were a fan of the Cameo too?
Keep safe

Wow! This is so beautiful, Loll! It really grabs me. Gorgeous background and striking flower silhouette against it. Love!
Beautiful colour blending, great technique and the black tulip silhouette looks amazing Loll x. Thanks for the link too x.
Wow, do I love this one! That background is gorgeous so thanks for the link. That is one, fabulous stencil. I think you should be in the design business with a stencil like that! This one really struck me.
That stenciled background shows up beautifully in the photo, Lolly! Love those gorgeous flowers add so much contrast! So far I have batted 0 on the gesso. My gesso wants to soak up the paint. Maybe I need some new gesso. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise, my friend!
It's gorgeous! I love the stenciling, the dots and the added sparkle... There's nothing not to love!
Thank you for sharing this lovely technique. The card is soft and serene - beautiful. I want to try it very soon.
I love the soft, flowing, and dreaming background, Loll! The colors and the visual texture are amazing! The pretty black tulip silhouette makes a great contrast. Thank you for sharing the video link! I'd love to play with my gesso. :-)
