You have until the end of the month to play along.


The ARTplorations Peeking Sunflowers Slimline Stencil has been a favorite of mine,
since day one💕 If you type in "STAMPlorations Slimline Stencils" into my 
 Search in Blog box you can view more of my STAMPlorations Slimline Stencil Cards.

I began by cutting a 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" mini slimline card base using SU 100# Basic White
Cardstock.  Then cut a 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" card front and secured my
ARTplorations Peeking Sunflowers Slimline Stencil using masking tape.

Then the fun began using i-Crafters Blending Brushes to blend 
Ranger Distress Oxide Inks:
Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo.
Then removed stencil and fussy cut the sunflowers to fit the card front.

Next cut a piece of Ink Drops "Ocean" Craft Paper 3 1/2" x 6" and attached to
card front.  Attached sunflowers and then heat embossed the center of the flowers with
Versamark and Ranger Distress Embossing Glaze Vintage Photo.

Then Added 3 "Shine Bright" Clear Stickers and Done💞
I was very pleased with the results.
This is a Thinking of You card for a dear friend.

Thank you for visiting and hope you can play along too with your stencils.
Love and Hugs,

  2. What perfect blending you did with that sunflower stencil! Love that the centers look textured. Your colors are so perfect for this. By the way the link did not bring up the sunflower stencil- just so you know. Not sure it’s still available.
