I started by masking the card front to create a border. Placed a leaf stencil over top that I die-cut from acetate using the Leaf Pattern (51-432) die from Penny Black. Uses my blending brushes to blend over top of the stencil with a light touch using Shabby Shutters distress ink. I blended at the bottom and left side, fading out towards the center.
Removed stencil and used my heat gun to made sure the ink was dry before stamping the image in black and heat embossing in clear. Watercoloured using Distress Inks, Kitsch Flamingo and Peeled Paint. Stamped the sentiment in black and clear heat embossed to match the image.

I like the soft blended background. That new stamp is so pretty and makes a lovely card with the pale coloring.
Wonderful stencilled background and I love how the embossed outline makes the flowers pop out on the page. Gorgeous xx
What a pretty card with a delicate stencilled background and a beautiful bouquet of cute flowers Loll x.
Beautiful Loll, I love the delicate colour of the flowers and the soft stenciled leaves in the background :)
This is gorgeous Loll and there is something so crisp and clean about the black outlines clear heat embossed, and the pretty PB flowers look wonderful in pink, and I love the stencilled leaves in that light bright green in the background and a great idea to make it fade out which works beautifully. x

So pretty! I do love your colour choices
This is such a gentle, pleasant card. Clever idea to make a stencil from the PB leaf die and mask for the right area. You always have such unique ideas!
I Love the loose water coloring on this as well as your soft, fading background. You always do a fabulous job on your backgrounds complimenting the work so perfectly. Beautiful card, Loll.
Pretty little posies softly colored and with the lovely stenciled leaves as enhancement. It's perfection, Loll!

This is so lovely, Loll! I'm always impressed with your wonderful way of your showcasing the new release.
The diy stenciled leaves and the small flowers are so soft and pretty! I was interested in the new DI color, Kitsch Flamingo, and you showed it to us in the perfect way. Thank you!
