I finally used the NBUS stencil I bought a while back.
I CASED a card by the very talented Debby Hughes using different colors and a flower instead of a sentiment on my vellum tag.
My sequins are iridescent and want to look purple in all the photos, but I assure you they aren't. I actually colored them with a Copic marker and they're pink IRL.
This was actually my second try with this stencil. The first try was too dark and I needed to try again with a lighter hand. I was much happier with this try.
I don't often think about vellum, but I love the dreamy quality it adds.
Maybe I'll find some time to do some more class homework.
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge this week is Anything Goes with Twine or String.
I'm so glad you stopped by today.
Enjoy!

This is beautiful, Bonnie. I'm glad you finally got to try out one of the techniques. I'm understand what you mean about a light hand. I need to practice that, too.
