SKETCHY FLORAL

It is Stencil Week at the Just Us Girls Challenge and my last week of being their guest designer for August.  I have never done very much with stencils but went through my stash and found a very old (maybe about 2019) Altenew stamp and stencil.  It's a very large stamp and you can easily make two cards from it. I embossed the stamped image and using the stencil, ink blended with DO iced spruce and worn lipstick.  Sponged a bit of DO pumice stone for some shadows around the flower.

I used a stitched frame die to cut out the center and added four layers of die cut frames to raise up the center part for some dimension.  Sequins in several sizes were used for the flower centers.
 

Create a card using a stencil and enter by 6PM Wednesday, September 2 - Just Us Girls Challenge.

Crafty hugs,
