Give a Cheer
I picked up a gorgeous Concord and 9th stencil recently from SBC. I just really loved the way it looked, the style of it and the slightly modern avant-garde twist to the florals. So I really wanted to have a play with this lovely stencil. I decided to start with a softly coloured cardstock base and then layer up the colour with Distress Oxide Inks through the stencil. I chose a lovely soft minty sage coloured cardstock from the SBC Peppermint Smooth Cardstock Pack. I chose some fun orange and sage green Oxide Inks to lay down the colours. I used Ripe Persimmon for the darkest orange hue and Spiced Marmalade for the lighter orange hue. I used Bundled Sage for most of the green details, touching just a hint of Forest Moss here and there to deepen the green. I wanted a striking sentiment to finish off this gorgeous but rather plain panel. So I grabbed my Thank You die from Whimsy Stamps out and cut several from a plain cardstock and then a final cut from a lovely copper coloured iridescent cardstock from my stash. I layered them up and added them in the centre of the panel. I diecut the panel first with a very plain stitched edge die as I didn't want to lose too much of the stencilling. Then added the finished panel to an A2 landscape fold card, so this one opens from the right hand side, not my usual preferred top folding card base.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
