The Flower Challenge #96

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!

A jaw dropping beauty, Michele! Large and lovely in the warm tones and a bit of leafy texture to go with it. Wowie!
