Onto our next challenge at Try It On Tuesday!
(As promised here is the second post from me today - If you are here from the Card Chain Challenge April Reveal link post please just scroll down to the previous post!)
This time at TIOT we want you to 'Use A Stencil' - that's it - plain and simple use a stencil in anyway you want!
I did a simple technique called 'Double Stenciling' for this card.
My background stencil was inked with Antique Linen.
To my shame this Sweet Poppy (along with a couple of others)bought some time ago has never been used. 😞
I don't know why cos I really like it!
Leaving my background stencil in place, I put the poppy field stencil on top and blended the flower heads Abandoned Coral, Spiced Marmalade and Fossilized Amber.
I then removed the background stencil and put the poppy one on top lining it back up, then used the same colours over the top.
This gives a shaded effect where the stencils all overlap and you can see the background stencil on the flower heads. Quite like it!
A little bit of Bundled Sage for the stems and a triple die cut sentiment to finish .
Please have a look at the DT makes over on the blog - lots of lovely ideas and am looking forward to seeing your stencil makes too! x

I love these layered Poppies, especially the way you created the shaded effect. It's a beautiful card Viv. Imagine having stencils you haven't used - who else might do that?!? Hugs, Chrisx
Two beautiful stencils that you've used here Viv, I love the card and the colours you've used.

I love the double stenciling Viv. It works great, and your card looks amazing. I have some of those unused inks too. Isn't it funny when you actually use them how much you like them? Hugs-Erika
What a beautiful card! I love your design and the double stencilling technique that you used - amazing 😊. Wishing you a very Happy May! Hugs, Jo x
Beautiful stencil work Viv! Love that subtle background for your poppies! Have a super week! ((HUGS)) Helen
This is so lovely. Using the stencils on top of each other is not something I have done before. You have made it work so well. Great colours too. I hope you use that stencil again soon xx

You know I'm loving your pretty poppy design, Vivalicious, seeing as how it's our State Flower! That two-step stencil adds a ton of interest! It would be great to see this in the gallery at NBUS! Hugs, Dolly

Mwah!!
Those two stencils work brilliantly together Viv, and I love the citrus tones on the flowers, and the swirly background pattern comes through beautifully on the flowers...such a great idea. x

Love the pretty row of colorful flowers. Great card. Thanks for joining us at Make My Monday.
Great work with the double stencilling
I've never thought of using a stencil over a stencil but it's very effective. I like the subtle patterns.
The flowers are so playful and fun! Cute card! Thank you for sharing your talent with us at Crafting Happiness Challenges!
