Full Bloom

Good Morning

I've been playing along with some of the challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers.

One of the challenges was to use the 'Spotlighting Technique'.  Basically what that technique entails is to stamp an image twice, then using just a part of one of the images, add colour to that and pop it back over the original.  

I thought I would change up that technique by doing it using a stencil instead of stamping it all.

So onto my card details.

I began with this lovely 2-part Dahlia stencil from Altenew.  I placed Stencil A onto my piece of heavy white cardstock and with a very gentle hand, I rubbed over it with some Hickory Smoke DOX ink.  When I was happy with the inking, I removed that stencil and positioned the Stencil B over the inked area.  Using a bit heavy hand, I rubbed on some more Hickory Smoke to give a darker shaded effect.  

Next, using another piece of cardstock, I placed the Stencil A down and sponged on some DOX inks, lifted that and using Stencil B, applied the darker details.
I cut down the panel, matched it to the grey toned background and pop dot mounted it back in place matching it all up.
I stamped the sentiment and mounted it onto some orange cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Stay safe and secure.
