I used an older piece of patterned paper (Sweather Weather - Stampin' Up!). Stenciled using the Dreamweaver - Hibiscus Pair stencil, using distress inks.
I finished the card by tracing an outline through the stencil with a fine-tip black marker and adding a simple sentiment.

I love your stenciled-over-patterned-paper Hibiscus, Loll! I adore the outline you've added, too! I've got my thinking cap on!

This is beautiful. Great choice of pattern paper, stencil and colors.
ReplyDeleteThis was waiting in my inbox and I LOVE it, Lolly! What a great idea to stencil on pp and I love how you added the definition with the outline! Oooh, you've got my gears turning ... I have a feeling this challenge will be addicting once I start pulling out stencils and trying to choose from all my pp! Thank you for using the I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and getting inky! Love, Dolly
ReplyDeleteAdding the outline really makes your Hibiscus pop, Loll. Who would have thought that stenciling would cover the pattern so well?!
ReplyDeleteA really lovely card Loll. x
ReplyDeleteYou've used a really pretty patterned paper for the background and your inking has covered the quite bold pattern brilliantly Loll, and the yellow, orange and pink on the hibiscus flowers complements the background and the quite yellow green is perfect too. The black marker to outline the flowers and leaves looks great and really makes the flowers pop. A beautiful card! x
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to give the stencil definition. I love the effect and the finished card. The paper works really well. Great colours too xx
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful card, and thanks to this technique, we can use our supplies. Adding outlines to the template beautifully defined these beautiful hibiscus flowers. Thanks for showing this technique and for the beautiful inspiration. I love this card.

What a fabulous technique! I've never heard of that, but your gorgeous card shows how wonderful the results are Loll!
ReplyDeleteThis is so warm and summery! Pretty card, Loll!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely. That outline really pulls it all together.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful striking card, Loll.

This is so bright and pretty, Lolly! I need to take a look through my patterned paper and stencils.
ReplyDeleteYour hibiscus is beautiful! I love the idea of stenciling over patterned paper, now just to remember it!
ReplyDeleteThe stencilling over the patterned paper turned out beautifully. The hibiscus is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I can hardly see the patterned paper underneath the stenciling except just enough to add interest to the design. A bit more around the edges where the ink is lighter. Really pretty, Loll!
ReplyDeleteLovely and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteAn outstanding result Loll - love that you outlined the flowers after stenciling
ReplyDeleteBlessings
