Stencil Fun IG Hop - November 25

Happy again friends; I am back to share my card for this month's Stencil Fun IG Hop organised by my lovely friend Jane. We a group of crafters who are determined to use their forgotten and neglected stencils. I'm definitely guilty of this; I have so many stencils but usually forget to reach for them so this hop is perfect for me. The theme is always anything goes but we will have an optional theme to use if we want to. This month's optional theme is 'thanks' and I'm excited to see who has used this optional theme.

I have loads of Gina K Designs stencils and sometimes it's hard to choose which one to use but today I used one of my all-time favourites - Layered Carnations.  It's such a pretty set of stencils with 2 stencils for the flowers and 2 for the leaves but it's really easy to use and line up and the end result is beautiful.  I went for a pretty purple colour combo and I hope you like it. 

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel and using 2 purple inks and 2 green inks stencilled the gorgeous design.  Once I was finished I decided to use Master Layouts 14 and cut the panel using the postage grid die.  I also used the larger mat layer to cut some purple card.  As I knew I wanted to use black ink to stamp my sentiment I also cut a slightly larger layer from black card using Master Layouts 1.  I added foam squares behind the postage grid panel and layered it onto the purple layer; this was then adhered to the black layer with double sided tape.  I stamped the sentiment in black ink onto a scrap of white card and used the coordinating die to cut it out.  I also cut another 2 from plain white card to stack up using liquid glue.  The sentiment was then added to the bottom right of the panel with liquid glue.  I finished off with some gold pearls embellishments.  For the inside I cut a white panel from Master Layouts 2 and stencilled just one of the flowers in the bottom right corner.  I also cut another purple layer and black layer as before and adhered them all together with double sided tape.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink and then adhered the panel to the card base with double sided tape.  A really pretty card and I love this postage grid die and always forget to use it!
