Having a rest from Christmas cards for a few weeks, so I'm building up my Birthday card stash... with one made today using a Stencil. On a white card panel I placed the stencil in the bottom corner and used Distress Inks to bring up a pink flower, masking off the centre so I could make it yellow - I made a whoops that I couldn't disguise so lightly blended the yellow over more of the flower - I do like how it makes the flower 'glow'. Then it was a bit dead still so I positioned the stencil again twice and filled the space.... not stopping there I used a tiny dots stamp in the same colour and added random interest... still further I used the sentiment stamp with the pale pink randomly stamping that too. I added highlights to the flower with coloured pencils, stamped the sentiment in DO picked raspberry and used Pearl Gold embossing powder ..... then a scattering of crystal gems to finish.
I am playing along with The Flower Challenge #51 - Add Embellishments --- and also with -- STAMPlorations - The Stencil December challenge - Anything Goes.

This is my favourite stencil from STAMPlorations. I LOVE how you've used it Robyn. The soft pink is so pretty for these dahlias ... love the glow of yellow. Wonderful addition with the small dotty stenicling over the image. And what a great idea to stamp your sentiment in dark pink and then heat emboss in gold. It's beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteThe layering of the stencils is fabulous Robyn. Gorgeous card x
ReplyDeleteThis is just lovely, great colour and great blending. love how you have created that background and using the sentiment as a watermark is such a good idea xx
ReplyDeleteWow! This is gorgeous, Robyn! Love the pink petals and how the glow of the center spreads into the flower! Great job on the background too!
ReplyDeleteThis is so soft and pretty looking Robyn and I love it! Thanks for sharing with us over at 'The Flower Challenge' ;) Viv DT xx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Gorgeous stenciled dahlia card design, Robyn. I love your added details. I have never thought to stamp a sentiment in a very light color and loved the lightly stamped dots. Loved your sentiment that is stamped in dark pink and then heat embossed in gold. Gorgeous added pencil details for your beautifully colored main dahlia also. Added a few sequins was the perfect final touch. TFS your beauty. So pleased you joined us at STAMPlorations Stencil Challenge. Merry Christmas and Happy Healthy New Year. Love and Hugs...Nancy
