I hope you have had a chance, or several, to go through the Last Chance list. It is sad to say goodbye but we must do that to get new products. Today’s card includes a retiring item from the Mini Catalog. They are the Butterflies and Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. I used the Blending Brushes and created a little bouquet.
The stenciling is out of my normal wheelhouse. But it is for a challenge on the Make My Monday Blog. I hope you will join the challenge and give stenciling a try. You can click on the link and be taken to the site.
Stencil, Stamp, Punch
As I said, I used the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks to create the bouquet you see. It took quite a few colors, and a learning curve! But trying new things is a good thing. Creating this was definitely out of the norm for me and was quite fun. All of the colors will be listed in the Supply List.
To finish the bouquet, I stamped and punched one daisy from the Daisy Lane Stamp set. Since it was a red rubber / Cling stamp, I could color the daisy with Stampin’ Write Markers directly to the rubber. Those colors were Calypso Coral and Pale Papaya. Sadly, individual markers are not available, with the exception of the Basic Black. But if you like coloring the rubber stamps they are a great tool to have.
Paper
The beautiful paper you see is from the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper. The peach piece is the opposite side of the leaves and floral of the background layer. And of course this is where my color choices for the stenciled bouquet came from. Even though Soft Succulent is the color I used for stenciling and the ribbon, Just Jade really pops from the greenery you see of the layer. So that was the choice for the card base.
Finishes
Continuing the colors and being still in my out of the norm mode, I placed the Soft Succulent Shimmer Ribbon behind the raised bouquet layer. Then the Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon is placed on top of the bouquet. By adding the punched daisy it gave a bit more dimension to the bouquet. And as a finishing touch, I went a bit overboard with the Genial Gems! I added both the green tone and the peach tone. The green is around the edges with the stenciled greenery while the peach tone is added as a flower center.
