The Flower Challenge #96 Reminder

A gentle reminder that there is still plenty of time to stencil a few more cards for our gallery, my friends!  Come on - you know you have stencils that would love to play!

I've chosen another from my stash from Altenew: Tranquility Rose... it has a vintage look to it IMHO...


I blended a panel of Bristol card using the residual inks from my
blending brushes after stenciling my rose and leaves - it got a spritzing
of Wplus9's Pure Color Shimmer spray.  After THAT dried, I took it
for a spin through my Switch using Altenew's Dotted Swirls debossing plate.
This sweet sentiment is one from HoneyBee's Daisy Layers Bouquet set.

BTW you don't HAVE to stencil your flower/flowers!  Stenciling your background would be just fine with us!

Okay, that's enough from me - run over to The Flower Challenge and be inspired by all the lovely stenciling from my teammates, won't you?  Thanks always!

Your layered, stenciled flower is gorgeous. A great card with all it's texture but the vintage rose is the easy centerpiece here

It does have a vintage look with these colors. The background is as lovely as the rose.

This is so beautiful, Michele, and I love the way you divided yet blended the colors.Such a beautiful background and I love the way the rose sits on the purple and the green and that itte touch of purple in the leaves. Your layering is fabulous. I have this stencil and really had a time with it.... Translation: lots of bad words.

If you saw me looking at your card, you'd see the hearts popping from my eyes like some old time cartoon lol! Love this color combo so much and it works so well with that beautiful rose. Gorgeous card, Michele!

Thanks for the tip of using the residual ink from the brushes. I always smoosh up residual ink on my mat but why I never thought to take from my brushes. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Love the color combo and another big beautiful blossom!
