Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
There's still time to join in Susan's stenciling challenge at CAS Mix Up.
Our fabulous Design Team and Guest Designer, Michele have lots of inspiration
to share with you.
This time I've used Eileen Godwin's technique to add blended colors and a
Tim Holtz stencil for the background.
A NBUS Lavinia stamp tops it off.
When I trimmed the black piece a little, I had these curly pieces.
I'm not sure I'm crazy about them. They look a little snakey.
What do you think?
Challenges:
CAS Mix Up - Rainbow Ink Blending with Stencils.
NBUS #26 - Never Before Used Schtuff
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Oh tis is beautiful, love the soft rainbow colours with that subtle use of a stencil to enhance the look. That black stamping on top sets it off beautifully and is that sparkle on your plant/tree? Bet it looks fabulous in real life xx
ReplyDeleteJust lovely Bonnie. That Lavinia stamps is on my toilet paper unravelled length of a wish list! xl
ReplyDeleteOh boy, when you say stamp with Klass you really mean it. Those soft, wavy rainbow colors with that bold beautiful stamp are awe-inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThe pretty glittery black and white Lavinia flower looks wonderful over the rainbow stencilled background Bonnie and the little strips of card look like tendrills coming off the stem, and finished with a lovely white on black sentiment strip. x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What a cool stamp and somehow so fitting with your background. I love the tendrils, and the glitter adds to the magic of your beautiful card.
ReplyDeletelove your ink blending as a background to that gorgeous stamp. I'm just about to put an order in at Lavinia, guess what's on my list :)
ReplyDeleteOh my, Bonnie, but you have mastered Eileens softly blended rainbow colors with the subtle stenciling! Love your choice of stamped silhouette flower. Snakes..No, a bit of pretty whimsy..yes from your thin black scraps! TFS your beauty, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful rainbow background Bonnie - I love those whimsical curly pieces - they 'fit' the image perfectly :)

Stunning card Bonnie, that image really pops against your pretty background. There is something about a Lavinia stamp!xx
ReplyDeleteThis card is absolutely GORGEOUS Bonnie!! I love, LOVE how you did your background, and your silhouetted flower is SOOOO pretty!! And I kinda like the thin black wispy strips...they match the whimsical look of the flower! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteI love this soft technique of blending and it looks gorgeous. The stamp is so pretty and I think the little tendrils look like they just belong there.
ReplyDeleteI happen to like those tiny tendrils, Bonnie! AND your gorgeous rainbow of stenciling - I'm still trying to work out if the EG technique was used OVER TOP of the TH stencil?
ReplyDeleteHowever done, it's a magical, mesmerizing card to look at, Bonnie! xx

I absolutely love the softer palette of rainbow colours Bonnie and the fantasy flower looks great over the top. I don't think there's anything snake-ish going on here! Those thin pieces look like the tendrils you'd get on a sweet pea or something! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteFantastic job on the rainbow challenge and I love the array of pastels you chose for this. That is such a fun technique and I had learned it from your blog link. Great stamp too (sigh) and one more on my wish list which is at least a 1000 items long. Thanks for always listing your supplies.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your soft rainbow background with this amazing flower image, Bonnie. The design is fabulous with the rainbow stenciling off to one side. I do like those black curly-q's you've added. xx
ReplyDeleteThe little strips look like the tendrils on plants like sweet peas - I would never have thought they looked like snakes! Beautiful background in that pastel rainbow!
ReplyDeleteA fantastic airy rainbow background for the gorgeous flower, Bonnie! I love the contrast between the softly stenciled, background and the strikingly modern-look flower. Wonderful use of the Eileen's technique and great design!!
ReplyDeleteHideko xx
Snakey no... I love those little tendrils, in fact I love the card... Beautiful stenciling and I see sparkle too
ReplyDeleteWOW that technique looks amazing Bonnie. One striking and fabulous card x. Fun addition to have those curly black 'bits' x.
ReplyDeleteAwesome design Bonnie I love the soft pastel rainbow colours teamed with the stencil and the image you used is perfect for the challenge.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a terrific effect -- lovely technique for that blending, it adds such appeal to your already pretty card
ReplyDeleteThat soft rainbow background is so pretty. You’ve mastered Eileen’s technique beautifully. The black is a great contrast.
ReplyDeleteWow, Bon, Eileen would be inspired by YOU with this stunning design! I love everything about your composition and colors, including the movement from those amazing curly pieces! That flower is so cool with the schparkly texture you added. Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Dolly
