I inked it up with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I took the stencil off, wiped it clean, then repositioned it and inked with some Villainous Potion DOX ink. The overlapping pattern made for a nice background.</li><li style="text-align: left;">Next, I stamped in some of the open areas using the eraser on the end of a pencil with the same colours as mentioned above.</li><li style="text-align: left;">While that dried, I die cut out the sentiment with some white cardstock, then inked it up with the same colours that I had used for the stenciling.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I die cut the sentiment shadow right from the middle of the panel and then glued the inked sentiment onto it.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I glued the panel onto a piece of light blue cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I used some foam tape to add the sentiment back into place in the middle of the card front.</li><li style="text-align: left;">Using my white Posca pen, I added a few dots and then I put some silver gems around the sentiment.</li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

To give the sentiment more prominence on the card front, I die cut it again 3 x's with some white and glued them all together.</li><li>I glued the panel onto a piece of yellow cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.</li></ul></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It added not only more colour but also interest to the flower.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I removed both stencils and splattered with my white Posca pen.</li><li style="text-align: left;">When the panel was dry, I die cut the sentiment from it and cut the sentiment shadow in white. I glued the two together.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I glued the panel onto a piece of pink cardstock, then onto some orange the onto an A2 sized card base.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I used some foam tape to add the sentiment over to the side of the flower and then finally, added a black gem to the middle of the flower head.</li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It added a fun looking element to my card.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I placed the stenciled panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I glued the panel onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto an orange piece then finally, onto a white A2 sized card base.</li></ul></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I inked it up with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.</li><li style="text-align: left;">Leaving that stencil in place, I put the Rocky Path stencil right over it and inked with some Villainous Potion DOX ink. It added a fun pattern to the fan blades.</li><li style="text-align: left;">While that dried, I inked a scrap of white cardstock with some more Peacock Feathers DOX ink and then I die cut the heart with the dots and used a paper punch to get the smaller one.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I glued my card front onto a piece of blue cardstock and then onto a 4 1/4 inch square card base.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I glued the hearts over the center of the fan, then stamped the sentiment onto a piece of white cardstock and used some foam tape to pop that over the hearts.</li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I inked again with some Rustic Wilderness DOX ink.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I took the stenciled panel and used the Eclectic Tree Outlines die to cut it out. <i>Be sure and keep all the little pieces when you die cut. It helps to put some low tack tape across the back of your cardstock before die cutting it out to help hold all the little pieces in place.</i></li><li style="text-align: left;">I glued the panel onto a piece of white cardstock, then glued the little die cut pieces back into place over the panel.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I glued the panel onto a piece of green cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I use some foam tape to add the sentiment.</li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I die cut the shadow part of the sentiment from some white cardstock, then glued them both together.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I glued the card front onto a piece of pink cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I used some foam tape to add the sentiment along the top edge of the card front.</li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I inked that stencil with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I positioned stencil #2 over the first inking and used some Picked Raspberry DOX ink to ink again.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I placed stencil #3 into place and inked the leaves with some Rustic Wilderness DOX ink.</li><li style="text-align: left;">Last, but not least I added the flower centers with stencil #4 with some Black Soot DOX ink.</li><li style="text-align: left;">Next, I inked up a scrap of white cardstock with the Rustic Wilderness DOX ink and die cut the sentiment from that. I die cut the sentiment shadow right from the card front and then glued the sentiment over that.</li><li style="text-align: left;">I glued the stenciled panel onto an A2 sized card base, then used some foam tape to pop the sentiment back into place, matching up the flower pattern.</li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
