Double the Stencil Fun

If asked about my favorite crafting tool I would probably say stencils.  They are easy to store.  They are very versatile.  And for some reason I find them less intimidating than stamps.  I do admit that even though I have tried many different techniques using stencils, I am still just a novice when it comes to this tool.  Simon Says Stamps helped me to flex that muscle a little more this week with their Monday Challenge: Use more than one stencil.   Here is what I came up with: 

I started by covering a piece of Ranger watercolor paper with Mustard Seed Distress Stain. Over that, I sponged Spiced Marmalade and Rusty Hinge Distress ink through stencil number one, Spiral Petals from Hero Arts.  Next, I spread translucent embossing paste through stencil number two, Large Flower from Hero Arts.  Once that was dry, I sponged on Seedless Preserves Distress ink, which was resisted by the embossing paste and filled in the outline of the flower.

I cut that panel into three pieces, and popped them up with some fun foam.  I heat embossed the sentiment from Club Scrap (Cherry Blossoms kit) with some White powder from Gina K Designs. The card was finished off with three Doodlebug Matte Sprinkles altered with YR07 Copic Marker and a little bow made from some fibers in my stash.
