Blue tones

I started this card intending it to be my DT card for my Tone on Tone challenge at CAS Mix Up this month - but once it was completed I realised that there probably wasn't enough 'clear space' (actually there was NO clear space!!) and although I considered (briefly) cutting it into a panel, I decided against it as I liked the whole stencil!

 I was happy with the card once it was finished so just sharing another example of 'Tone on Tone' stencilling.

I rarely use coloured card stock for a base but this card I thought was light enough to show up a stencil.

My 'Petal Burst' stencil is from Funky Fossil and I used Versamagic 'Sea Breeze' ink.

White heat embossed/ black sentiment, a few white enamel dots added, and after sponging lightly round the edges, I popped it onto the blue card base.

This was a quick make too and maybe the coloured cardstock I have will get used for this technique more often, especially when I need a card in a hurry!
Happy crafting and stay safe wherever you are in the World. x

    This is super and a lovely idea. Plenty of space to highlight the sentiment even if it's not 'white space'.

    This is lovely, simple and gorgeous, love the colour and the coloured card base. I have used this very same stencil for an extra tone on tone card. I will share it a bit later in the month, it is the same stencil but the card looks very different xx

    The colours are beautiful Viv and the Sea Breeze ink is so bright and pretty, I love the FF stencil too, and the white embossed/black sentiment finishes it perfectly. x
