Welcome
A simple card today although it looks more complicated then it actually is.
Altenew for the win with this great layering stencil called Dahlia Stencil A and B.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- I began by cutting a white cardstock panel and got out some Weathered Wood Distress Oxide ink. I positioned Stencil A over my cardstock on my Stencil Mat and inked it up.
- When I was happy with the coverage of ink, I removed Stencil A and positioned Stencil B into place. Stencil B adds a lot of the flower details. I inked that up with some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink.
- I removed that stencil and splattered with my white Posca pen.
- After the stenciled panel was dry, I die cut the sentiment outline along the bottom, then cut the sentiment from some white cardstock.
- I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto a white card base.
- I glued the die cut sentiment onto the outline die cut and pop dotted it back into place over the front panel.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
