The stenciling and water spritzing is very becoming on this. Like the die cut border borders too... one that you can see all the way through and the other that you can't. I wouldn't have thought to do the latter but adds nice interest to the card.

Rubbernecker Flower #7 & Hero Arts Large Lotus Pattern Stencil

CARD:
4 ¼ x 5 ½ inches
International Paper Accent Opaque Digital, 120-lb. white (card base, die-cut flower)
Penny Black Special Wishes Stamp Set (sentiment)
Versafine Onyx Black ink
Gina K. Designs Connect Glue

BACKGROUND:
Fabriano Extra White 140-lb hot-press watercolor paper
Hero Arts Large Lotus Pattern stencil
Distress Inks
Spellbinders Nestabilities Hemstitch Rectangles, S5-308

I stenciled the brighter and darker card a while back. From the looks of it, I think I must have spritzed it with water. The other background was made by misting the left-over ink that was on the stencil after making the first background and stamping that onto another piece of watercolor paper. I like the lighter one best.

When stamping with a stencil, it is easier to remove the stencil if you place the cardstock on an acrylic block. That way you can lift the stencil off easily, something I picked up from a Loll Thompson tutorial, Stenciling with Brushos.

FOCAL IMAGE:
Rubbernecker Flower #7 DIE (5175-07D) (doubled)
International Paper Accent Opaque Digital, 120-lb. white

I die-cut multiple times and layered two of the die-cuts together using Gina K Designs Connect Glue.

TFL.
