Stencilled Roses Birthday Card

Hello crafty friends ...

While I love using patterned paper on my cards, I do have a number of stencils that I thought I should pull out to play with. This is a new-to-me stencil because, well - I'm craving florals right now. I used my blending brushes to apply the colour, then a dots stamp to resemble splatter.

It's hard to see in the photos, but I also smeared Distress Stickles onto the flowers and some sparkly sequins for some Birthday Bling.

I also stencilled lightly on the envelope and inside the card, and ended up getting another (lighter) card panel when I cleaned the stencil over white card stock! That card was shared HERE if you are curious.

I'm getting a set of Birthday Cards ready to gift a friend, so this is one I will be putting in the bag.
