So Loved

 This card was made for this fortnight's 'Use a Stencil' challenge at Creatalicious Challenges.

This is the first time I've used the layering dies.  Sadly, the die set is no longer available.  It was called Layered Floral Background, it was a set of 3.  I used the first two layers as stencils and then used the top layering die for the paper portion.  I've also never really played with stenciling.  For the sentiment I used one of the sentimetns in the Digital Cutting Sets called Full Bloom Digital Art Collection. I used a different digital cutting set for the flowers and leaves, that came from the Crisp Air Digital Art Collection.  The awesome thing about these digital art collections is that you don't have to pay any shipping fees!!  I used a few shimmer brushes on the flower, I totally love the shimmer brushes!!  I used the Lagoon Shimmer Brush, the Ballerina Shimmer Brush and the Harbour Shimmer Brush (on the leaves).  The papers used came from the Flower Shoppe Coordinating Cardstock Set.  The ribbon used is the only thing NOT from CTMH, it was from Stamp'in Up and is now discontinued, it was called Summer Starfruit.


Thanks for looking!!  I can't wait to see what you stencil for this challenge!!

This is a very eye-catching card, Karen. The bold bloom looks great against your stenciled and die-cut background. I can see your added sparkle too. I appreciate you playing along at Just Us Girls.
