IDEAS July - Stencils

Hi everyone.  I want to thank everyone for their well wishes, thoughts & prayers.  The surgery went well and I'm home recovering.  I appreciate all the support!

Today's card is for the IDEAS Challenge with Darnell.  There are five Monday's this month, so this week is "S for Stencils".


I used a stencil (Interlaced Circles - Color Factory) for the background which is from my NBUS box. :)  I sponged the stencil with Scattered Straw, creating an ombre effect.  I torn along the top of my stenciled panel at an angel; then added it to my card base.  

I die-cut Dignified (Penny Black) leafy branch, watercoloured with Peeled Paint Distress Re-inker, and then cut it up to place behind my Hellebore image (Stampendous), which is also from my NBUS box. :)  The image is stamped in Watering Can Archival ink and watercoloured with Distress Re-inkers.  I stamped a sentiment to finish the card.

Close-up ...
Sending this to the following challenges:

    That bloom is so pretty, you could almost reach out and touch it. The soft stencilled background is the perfect backdrop.
    So pleased to hear that you are home and recovering well. :)

I am in awe of the dimension of your petals on that gorgeous flower and I love the stencil you used, the colors, and how you added even more interest with the torn angled edge! Thank you for linking again to NBUS and playing with my I.D.E.A.S. this week!📌 I'm so glad your surgery went well! Love, Dolly

    So pleased the surgery went well and look forward to seeing you back here as soon as you are able Loll. I somehow missed that bit at the bottom of the post where you mentioned it..must need new glasses! This is a gorgeous card and I just adore the yellow stencilled background with that beautiful red watercoloured flower and the torn edge looks great, not something I think of doing but I must give it a try as it adds extra interest to an already beautiful design. x
