When I visited my fave local craft store earlier this month, I found all their in stock stencils 20% off. This prompted me to invest in a Pinkfresh Studio set that I've admired for a long while. Sadly, it's retired at Pinkfresh but my local store had all the coordinating products. I was enabled by Lisa (My Paper Tales) who sent me some English Garden washi cuts last year - see the card I made with them HERE.
Simply stamped, stenciled & die cut the pieces. The embossed background came from my friend Greta (GG Creations) along with a Card Chain card back in May. Thanks again, Greta! Arranged everything on the card with foam tape & added a sentiment - quick and easy! The sentiment is another hot foil plate that I Betterpressed - so fun to be able to use those plates more than one way (although I have yet to hot foil it...).
Here's a process photo including the inks I used; the sixth step of the stencils is still over the paper. I found my large MISTI perfect for both stamping and stenciling this large stamp. The single die cuts out all the individual pieces which is such a time saver.
I'll send my card to Darnell's July NBUS Challenge #64 since my English Garden stuff is newly used. I'm also playing at Just Us Girls #737 Stencil Week and at Tic Tac Toe Challenge #252 (third of 3 max) where my friend Betty has set the board. Once again I've used the center vertical column - Die Cuts/Free/Any Sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by & have a crafty day!!
