It's stencil week over on the Just Us Girls challenge blog. I went stencil crazy on my card and loved every minute of it! I started with the 4 stencils from the Zero-Waste Chocolate Flowers set by Altenew. Below is a photo of the 5 1/2" square area prior to die cutting.
Next step involved using the large die that cuts all of the florals out in one swipe! Such an innovative idea to instantly get a large number of flowers and leaves at once.
I then stenciled the wooden crate, lantern and candle from Papertrey Ink's August 2023 Surprise Box stencil set. I die cut that layer using the PTI Love to Layer: Arches die set and popped it up with foam. Next, it was time to arrange the florals and add a small sentiment.
STAMPS: Blooming Beauties (Papertrey Ink).

ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful Wanda. Love your stenciling on the background and that lovely crate of flowers. I have this set also and love using it. It does help getting all those lovely blooms with one cut.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I love all of your perfect stenciling combined on this beauty and that polka dot background was the perfect choice!
ReplyDeleteWanda... this is absolutely gorgeous. So love that you shared your process. Truly a beautiful card... I feel so lucky that you are sharing your talents with us this month!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I for one, am loving all of the stencil craziness! This is layered is loveliness, Wanda. What a treat it's been to have you guesting with us this month!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you showed how that Zero Waster stencil and die worked, Wanda. I have another one without a stencil that you color and inlay. This is so much better. The arrangement is fabulous and what a great idea to put the lantern in the background. Way to shine on your last challenge with us. It's been a pleasure having you.
