A Single Flower Notecard

Good Morning

A simple card this morning using a newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Retro Flower Duo

This is a 2 flower stencil but for today's card, I used just one of them.

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

• I began by getting out my Gel Plate and I pressed my Distress Oxide ink pads directly onto the plate, then blended them together using a brayer.  The colours I used were Villainous Potion and some Uncharted Mariner.  
• Next, I laid the Retro Flower Duo stencil onto my plate and pressed a piece of cardstock over that to create the flower print.  
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry. When it was all dry, I die cut it using a large circle die.
• I took another piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some more of the Villainous Potion DOX ink and then I used an embossing folder to add some texture.  I lightly sanded off some of the raised areas to give it more interest.
• I glued the embossed piece onto a 4 1/4" square white card based and then I used some foam tape to pop the flower up.
• To finish my card off, I added some silver gems onto and around the flower.

Here is the stencil I used:
