These cards were both made using the Imagination Crafts Diamonds stencil and various Distress Ink colours. The card to my left was made by using the stencil on top of a piece of plain card and applying the inks liberally all over. Unbelievably, the large Woodware flowers were then stamped on top of the design and then embossed. At this point we took some household bleach and an old paintbrush and bleached all the areas inside the flowers. Once the bleach was dry the ink in the flowers became very pale. We then used similar Promarker colours to put the colour back into the petals. The sentiment is from Indigoblu's Live, Laugh, Love plate and has been stamped and embossed onto a piece of card coloured lightly with the same colours of ink used previously. To do this I replaced my stencil over the card to align it and find where I wanted to place it. I then placed a piece of card underneath, inked it, removed it and cut it out at funny angles before matting it onto the card. Funky and fun I think!
The card to my right uses the same stencil, but only covers a section of the card. We then added some random black gesso drips for a modern twist. The flowers are from Indigoblu again and have been stamped, inked using the same colours again, and then 'fussy cut' out. The flowers have then been arranged along the border of the stencil in a flowing motion. We got to keep the stencil, so no doubt it will feature again...!
