For me, every day is Saturday - but I do look forward to having my working sidekick home on the weekend - but I thought I'd better get one more post in today before the 'games begin!'
It's stencil week over at Just us Girls #768 - wow, it seems like I've shared quite a bit of stenciling lately but I have one more to share today. In fact, I recently made a card using this stencil - you'll see it HERE... but I splurged and added the Altenew Blossoming Bouquet press plate. I'm not one bit sorry about it either...
... would you look at that gorgeous line art? I never could have achieved this
look using those pencils! I applied the color using the coordinating stencils and
voila! A beautiful thank you ready to go out the door!
Now, before I go - you KNOW I can't just make one card per session. Carol M. used a pierced paper for her card - see it HERE. In fact, Marcia showed me a card she made [hint, hint] using the same paper. It got me thinking about all the 'pierced' cover plates I have - could I stencil over those to get a similar look? I think it worked pretty well!
Lil' Inkers: woodgrain plate - sorry it's no longer available.
PTI sentiment: Happy Mail
I often will add texture to these 'one layer' stenciled panels. I never thought of going over the top of it - that's not to say I won't be adding that pierced paper to
my yard-long wish list! lol
Okay, my friends. The boss is home early, and we're going to enjoy our time together and listen to the wonderful Springtime rain we're having - fingers crossed for a little thunder! Hope you have just the weather you wanted this weekend, too!
