All Occasion Card | Picket Fence Studios - "Slim Line Blending Roses" Stencil

Hello!

Today's project uses a great stencil from the new release, "Slim Line Blending Roses" Stencil. The roses in this stencil can be colored so many different ways and it literally took me 10 minutes to ink this image up! This card was born out of necessity because the pressure pins on my 15-year old die cutting machine cracked off while I was working on another design and so without a way to die cut, I had to come up with another approach! : )

I ink blended the rose diagonally across an A2 panel with Distress Oxides, selectively cut through the image with my craft knife and fussy cut around the left side of the rose. The panel was backed with craft foam and the sentiment (from the "Songbirds" Stamp Set)  was stamped using the MISTI.

I ink blended the pattern from the "Slim Line Basket Petals" Stencil onto an A2 card front with some of the same Distress Oxides, sprayed it with water and dabbed it dry. After laying the rose panel on top, I determined the area of the stencil pattern that would be visible and then added gems (from the NEW "Celebration" Gem Mix) into the petal centers; the rose panel was adhered into place with liquid adhesive to finish the card. This gem mix is so pretty will go with a lot of my floral cards - here's a close up of the colors!
