Stenciled Gladiolus

Hi everyone.  Made a quick and easy CAS card for a couple of challenges. :)

Started with one of my favourite stamp sets from Altenew - Nature's Magic.  Stamped and die-cut the gladiolus and used the matching stencil and some detail brushes to sponge colour.

Used a rectangle die (center of a frame I had cut for another project), stenciling over top with Wander and Find (Carta Bella) in Shabby Shutters distress ink.  I finished by stamping a small sentiment in black ink.

Popped up the panel, added the gladiolus on top (popping up the top few flowers), adding it onto my white card base.  Added a few small details with my white acrylic paint pen to finish.

Gorgeous pink flowers, Lolly! I'm loving that shade of pink with the lime green stenciling! It has a big impact!

Oh I love this design, Loll. I am going to have to sketch it out for future cards. The overhand of the added diecut blooms really grabs the eye.

Oh!!!! Your stenciled flower coloring looks stunning! Is this one stencil or a set of stencils? The tonal transitions are perfect, giving the appearance of natural shading. I love the stencil background and the wonderful vibrant colors. Beautiful card, my dear Loll.
