2 Split cards

An idea to use this new (gifted) NBUS stencil was brewing away in my head last night so with a free Sunday on my hands - hubby off playing second round of golf this weekend, I set about making four cards from an A4 card sheet.   ADDED NOTE - Australian paper sizes are slightly larger than US and measure in metric --  I scored at 3in (7.6cm) and 6in (15.2cm) along long side and then scored the short side in half at 8.25in (10.5cm) up to the 6in score -- these are just front panels for cards and the slim were a bit long for me so trimmed them down.

Seeing the latest trend being slim cards I measured the card to achieve two slim and two normal A5 card fronts, then cut the slim from the A5 panel... see this post

For my A5 cards - I scored the middle - positioned the stencil and used Tattered Rose Distress Ink to blend over all the flowers, moving the stencil about too.  Then  I chose darker colours to add to the flower centres - DI Aged Mahogany on the left section   and   DI Abandoned Coral on the right  -- and used a fine brush to deepen the centre spots.

For my first card I added a matching coral coloured layer and stamped and silver embossed the sentiment.

With the second card I stamped the sentiment in grey and clear embossed then added a deep red border layer and a brown card 

I am posting these cards to NBUS challenge #16   .....   AND   .... Seize the Birthday challenge #195 - Non-neutral card base   .....   ALSO   .....  Yes, Virginia July Show and Share.

Thanks for stopping by my blog  --  have a Happy Day and stay safe.
