I just received the new, Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks, so I put it to use with four shades of pink. Stenciling on cards is so much fun; check out the entire set of masks in my Product List below.

To begin, I placed the mask of flowers on Basic White Cardstock, secured with Painter’s Tape. Then, I used Sponge Daubers with four colors of ink: Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Polished Pink, and Poppy Parade, and daubed away!

After fussy cutting the flowers, I placed them on Dimensionals.

Stenciled Flowers

Next, I chose a Flirty Flamingo card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, and a layer of Basic Black Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. The top layer is Basic White Cardstock, given texture with the backside of the Hive Embossing Folder. I normally cut the layer before embossing, but this folder causes the paper to “shrink.” So, you can learn from my mishap, and emboss first, then cut to size, making it 1/8″ smaller than the black layer.

The sentiment, “HELLO,” is from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, and cut with an Ornate Frames Die. I glued one end to the flowers, prior to attaching the bunch to the card front. 

The two leaves were cut from Basic Black Cardstock, with a Sunflowers Die, and glued in place.

Lastly, I embellished the card with three Classic Matt Dots in black.

I was inspired by Fusion.
