Hello my friends! It's that time again - are you ready to get inky with us this month at The Flower Challenge #96 - it's stencil time!
As we are leaning into Autumn, my mind is quickly embracing warmer earthier tones - orange roses are a favorite! I have finally added the Golden Days from Altenew to my stencil collection! What the heck took me so long?
She was stenciled onto Bristol paper - because of its smooth surface I might
have dried the ink between layers. But I quite like the ethereal look of
the layers of petals. After it dried, I fussy-cut the right edge and embossed
the background piece using a Park Lane folder from JoAnn's to add some foliage in its garden. But before I glued it to my card base, I gave the base a spritz of Distress Mica spray! [By now you know all about those sentiments!]
I love to while away the hours stenciling - do you? It is quite possibly the most calming of all techniques to me! We sure hope you'll add your stenciled flowers to our gallery - or maybe just a stenciled background BEHIND your florals? My fellow designers have gorgeous ways to inspire you right HERE at The Flower Challenge!

That big ol' bloom is fabulous all dolled up in her autumn colors! Pretty card, Michele!
What a stunner ! Your humungus bloom is so perfectly coloured it has great depth and works so well with that gorgeou embossing.

Puttin' on the glam today in this post - gorgeous!
That flower is gorgeous in oranges, Michele.
Oh so beautiful!
What a beauty, Michele! I think I have that stencil stashed away but even if I brought it out, I couldn't do it justice like you have. Stunning bloom!!
Oh, and that bit o' embossing? Genius!!
WHOA! So stunning, Michele! The flower alone is a showstopper but adding that spritzed folder for the background just upped the WOW factor!
