Grateful Garden

Welcome

Bringing on some cheerful with this happy card today.

A Colorful Life Designs has done it again with the new for February stencil called 

Layered Tulip Field

This set has 4 layering stencils that are so easy to ink up.  You can create a card in minutes.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock, placed the Layered Tulip Field Stencil #1 onto my paper and inked that up with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed that stencil, positioned Stencil #2 over the panel and inked that up with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink.
• Next, came Stencil #3 with the leaves that I inked with some Cracked Pistachio DOX ink.  
• Lastly, Stencil #4, leaf details that I inked with some Rustic Wilderness DOX ink.
• After inking up all 4 stencils, I decided to add more colour to the background, so using the eraser on the end of a pencil, I stamped in the dots using the same colours as the flower heads.  It added a fun looking element to my card.
• I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto an orange piece then finally, onto a white A2 sized card base.

Here is the stencil set I used:
