Hello there!
I had my second go at using a full stencil today (you will see my first for Time Out later this week). If you follow me, you will know-stencils scare me!! But I think this one turned out pretty good-well I like it!!
I used the Floral Layering Heart from Funky Fossil Designs-check these stencils out, they are amazing!
I used the colours from CAS Colour and Sketches. I gently used pink for the centre flowers and then blended in red for the outer flowers. Using grey as the card base.
The gorgeous sentiment is from CAS-ual Friday Stamps.
I will enter this into:
CAS Colour and Sketches-pink, grey, red
The Card Concept-easy to see those hearts inspired me! And my design is CAS, perhaps with a touch of layers.
Cupcake Inspirations-the hearts, the red and pink
I was never a fan of stencils either. Too scary! I was always leaving heavy blobs of color in one area, or streaks of dark in light areas. Ugh. Then I bought new blender brushes...they work so much better, and I just might have to give stenciling a try once more. Your card turned out beautifully. It looks perfectly stenciled in my book. LOVE that color. I think you've got a winner here. xo Bev
