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

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
