Pretty Florals in an Arch

When I hold my monthly card club classes I always try to include at least one technique. Although many of my attendees are experienced stampers, they have either forgotten some of these techniques or have never seen them.

This past weekend I held my classes and taught them how to create a stencil with dies. I took one of the Everyday Arches dies, cut it out of the center of a piece of 4" x 5-1/4" Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, and we used it as a stencil.

We laid the stencil over a piece of 4" x 5-1/4" Basic White, taping the edges to hold it still, and used a Small Blending Brush with Bubble Bath ink to color in the opening in the stencil. We wanted a light arch to create a background for our flowers.

Then we stamped our flowers using Granny Apple Green, Petunia Pop and Blackberry Bliss, cutting them out with the coordinating dies. So easy!

We all chose a greeting from Wonderful Thoughts, stamped it in Petunia Pop and cut it with the Wonderful Thoughts dies, popping up our sentiment on Dimensionals.

The entire white panel was on Dimensionals, giving a nice lift to the card front.
