Lots of Leaves- Stencil Layering

Welcome

Have you ever stenciled over a stencil??

It's fun and what a unique look it can give.  

That's what I did to create the background for my card today.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock.  I placed the Lots of Leaves stencil from ACLD over my cardstock and using a blending brush, I applied some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.  
• When I was happy with the inking, I left the stencil in place and put the Simple Grid stencil right over top of it. Be sure to secure well.  
• Using some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink, I inked right over the leaves, giving them some wonderful pattern.
• I removed the stencil, splattered with some water to lift the ink in places, then set aside.
• When dry, I placed the panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment from Pinkfresh Studios.
• I cut a strip of black cardstock and stamped the strip with Versamark ink, then white heat embossed it.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of green cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.  
• I pop dotted the black sentiment strip under the large sentiment.

Here are the stencils I used:
