Down the Garden Path

 

Welcome

Today's card is featuring the new Arches release from A Colorful Life Designs.

Instead of using the whole stencil to create a background design, I used it create a grid pattern.

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

• I cut a piece of cardstock that was 3 3/4" square.  I measured to find my center point and lightly divided the card base into 4 sections and masked one off.
• I positioned the Arches stencil over the masked area and inked it up with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.  
• I moved the masks to the next section, laid down the stencil and repeated that process again, filling up each of the 4 sections.
• I removed the stencil and all the masks and placed the panel into my Misti to stamp the flowers and the sentiment.
• I glued it onto a piece of orange cardstock, then onto an 4 1/4" square card base.
• I added 3 black gems to bring a bit more attention to the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:
