Today’s card began with a fun stenciling technique. I used one of the new, Artistic Matte Decorative Masks as a stencil on Very Vanilla Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. With a Blending Brush and Moody Mauve Ink, I smoothed the color over the top of the mask onto the cardstock. Doesn’t it make a pretty pattern? This layer was glued to a Moody Mauve card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Next, I cut flower petals from Hello Irresistible Designer Paper, using a Paper Florist Die, and curled the petals with a Bone Folder. Three more Paper Florist Dies were used to cut the flower center and leaves. I used the slice in the eight petals to glue them to a circle, forming a flower. Prior to attaching the flower to the card front, I double stacked Dimensionals beneath it, as well and curling and placing the leaves on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, “love you” was created with Love For You Dies. I cut the script words from Moody Mauve Cardstock, and glued them to background bubbles, cut from Very Vanilla Cardstock. After gluing, they were attached to the card front with Dimensionals.

After adding three Very Vanilla Matte Dots to the center of the flower, my card was complete.
