Floral Bouquet
For today's post I created a floral bouquet against a stenciled background.
MATERIALS USED
- Memory Box White Notecard
- Garden Vines Stencil No. 88523
- Forest Moss Distress Ink and Blending Tool
- Fresh Foliage Die No. 98502
- PoppyStamps Lorelai Leaf Die 839
- scrap of paper leftover from Memory Box Tinsel Collection, I think
- Frangia Bouquet Die No. 98568
- Squash Distressed Dots paper
- Texture Disperse Stencil No. 88507
- Prismacolor Pencil Olive Green
- tape the stencil down over the front of the notecard
- apply Forest Moss ink using a blending tool
- Adhere diecut Fresh Foliage to the card front
- Add the diecut Frangia Bouquet, using popdots on the flower blossoms
- Add the diecut Lorelai Leaf on top of the other two pieces, using tiny popdots on some of the leaves
- To add some interest on the left margin, I used the Testure Disperse Stencil and an olive Prismacolor pencil. I moved the stencil around and colored in the dots until I had a design I liked.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Memory Box stencils. I'm playing with all sorts of ways to use them--inking, spraying, layering one stencil over another, and coloring inside a stencil for a hand-drawn look. I'm experimenting with lots of different materials and techniques. Fun! I hope you've gotten some stencils and have begun playing with them as well.
Happy Crafting!
A great card as usual, Anne.
