You are Cherished

Hi everyone.  I'm back using this pretty Fading Florals stencil by Simon Says Stamp.  I'm using a different shade of blue ink this time - salvaged patina.  LOVING this new colour!

I used blender brushes to add colour to this stencil, masking off the two colours as best I could.  There's a little overlap. :)  I then cut around the design and adhered it to the bottom of my card base.  A simple sentiment (Thoughtful Messages - Simon Says Stamp) was added using the same salvaged patina ink.

Close-up ...
This was such a quick and easy card to make.  I do love all these wonderful new stencils! :)  

The Flower Challenge #60 is Turquoise.  I'm adding this to the gallery.  Come play along!

This new color is really amazing. I must look for him. You always match the colors of your cards so well, Loll!
Thank you for your description of how you made this card. I did not think that you can cut the pattern after applying the template. Great idea and such a great inspiration.
hugs,

Love that color combination- very striking! This one looks fun to do too. It can be hard to mask a stencil. I seldom get that perfectly but you seemed to do a fabulous job of it! Kudos for fussy cutting too!

Gorgeous Fading Florals Stenciling, Lolly. Your colors and shading turned out beautifully. Love the new Salvaged Patina DI too. You used the mask perfectly and love your CAS design using only a small area of the wonderful slimline stencil. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy

Beautifully done Loll and the Salvaged Patina is a gorgeous colour, and you managed brilliantly to keep the colours separate, also love how you cut round the prettily stencilled flower piece and added it to your card. x
