Sunflower Times Four

Hi there.  I'm glad you stopped by!


Here's another of the Split Four technique.
 
I used a TCW Stencil and used a sponge dauber to add color with Distress ink.

I started with Mustard Seed then added some Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide ink
to the center of each petal


The sentiment above is from PTI.

The ones below are from Tim Holtz.


I added some Wink of Stella to the petals on the card below.



There's still time to join in at CAS Mix Up where we're using stencils this month.




Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Not only does the Split Four technique help make four cards faster, but
also allows plenty of space for heartfelt sayings...so needed in these challenging times!

I have yet to use my favorite sunflower stencil this Fall, Bonnie. It looks great as a Split 4 image because it is a larger stencil image. I love how you added all your wonderful larger sentiment. You were the one that made me get this stencil about 3 years ago and I ended up ordering 8 for gifts:-) TFS your cards and more inspiration on how to use this awesome stencil. Love and Hugs, my dear sweet creative friend.

What a brilliant idea and you have four elegant cards.

BożenA said...

I considered all the large stencils useless and if it weren't for you, I would never have thought of using them in this technique. This is a brilliant discovery. And I love how you used the reflections to change the orientation and layout of the cards. Great inspiration and four stunning cards.
