Welcome
I designed this card with two challenges in mind, and I am very happy with the outcome.
I bought a stencil yesterday, (by Zyneri.com) and used it today, sponging it with Peeled Paint, Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade D Is.
The sentiment was silver embossed
to go with the silver sticker butterfly that has sat in my stash for more years than I can recall - can't even remember the last time I used any off the sheet!!
To finish I put some distress stain on an acrylic block and picked it up with a fine, wet paintbrush to give some splatters, and painted the (dry) petals with Wink of Stella
Love the finished card, and I'm linking it to:
(The Stencil is NUBUS)

oooh! yes please ... that's one yummy stencil and loving all the shimmer you've added to the petals too! Absolutely gorgeous and great way to showcase those peel-off stickers too. Thanks for playing along at Less is More this week. Sarah
This is such a lovely card Maxine. You did a good job with the stencil. I never get such a 'clean' outline as that. The wink of stella pen shows up well too. Very nice!!
I love the loose, 'arty' feel to this card. Beautifully made, and with such a lovely shimmer. Fab job - thanks for playing at Less is More!
Such bright flowers. This card makes me happy. The butterfly sticker is a nice touch. I'm not even going to mention how old my silver stickers like that are..... !
That is a real pretty card Maxine. I love that you have used Distress Inks because they are my favourites and it is good to know someone else uses them in several ways. They are such versatile inks.
That is a lovely stencil and you have used it so well.
Hugs (and thanks for the visits to my blog) xx Neet
Such a pretty card...love your colors on the flower and your silver butterfly is so pretty. Thanks for sharing at Less is More!
Lovely card. Thank you for all your comments on my blog. In answer to your question I have glaucoma, macular degeneration and the start of cataracts. My eye pressure is high. I have 4 lots of drops to put in several times each day. Have a good day
Gorgeous choice of colours for your stencilling and I love the shimmery touches to co-ordinate with the silver.
Thanks for sharing with us.
