My mother needed a last minute birthday card for a friend so this challenge was perfect timing for me. I went fairly clean and simple and only used card, ink and stencils (apart from a few sequins) so it didn't take any time at all to make. The finished card is 5" x 7". I hope you like it.
Here is my card:
A close up of the stencilling:
Plus I decorated the inside:
I began by cutting a white panel 4 1/2" x 6 1/2", grabbed my lilac ink pads and a gorgeous lotus layering stencil and created this gorgeous design. I stamped the sentiment in black ink and basically the card front was finished. I added a black mat panel with double sided tape and added the whole panel onto my card base with foam tape. For a final flourish I added 5 clear sequins for some extra interest. For the inside I cut another white panel, masked the stencil so that I only ink blended one of the flowers in the right corner and stamped a sentiment in the centre in black ink. Again I cut a black mat panel and adhered them together with double sided tape. I also added it to the card base with double sided tape. I love layering stencils as they make your cards look like you took ages colouring and adding depth with shading but it literally takes 10 minutes and you are done!
