Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I rarely use my stencils, but I gave them a good workout in the last week.
For these cards I used a stencil that a sweet friend sent me for my birthday.
While doing the stencil monoprint technique for the Group of 7 Cardmakers, I first
used the stencil in the usual way and got a good inking through the stencil.
I pulled the stencil off the cardstock and spritzed it then laid it wet side down on a
piece of mixed media paper and pressed on it with a piece of paper towel.
This background was my result. Not the best transfer but I was able to use it.
Two very different looks with one stencil play.

All that purple is so pretty, Bonnie. Vibrant on the first card and soft as a background for the lovely flowers on the second.
A good play with that stencil. Both cards are lovely. Love the soft background from the pressed stencil on the second card.
Love the stencil, your first card is so lovely, with the delightful butterfly and sentiment over it. Your second take on the stencil, is very soft and love the flowers and sentiment. Both Gorgeous cards.
You had me at purple, Bonnie - love both backgrounds you created with that branchy stencil!!
Bonnie, you are making me wish we could have shared more time creating together at one of your tables. What a wonderful stencil/gift! So pretty as a monoprint, too! That wilted violet is a gorgeous color in all its shades. Two beautiful cards, my friend!

Two different looks, but two beautiful cards Bonnie!! I love the deep purple you stenciled on the 1st card and that lovely butterfly with the touch of gold! Your monoprint background is just as pretty with the beautiful blooms standing out...love it!! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
I love that strong purple which you used as the background to the pretty white butterfly Bonnie, and the gold body and antennae and also on the sentiment coordinates perfectly. The stencilled monoprint you made from the first stencilling gives a lovely random look which is great as a background to your beautiful purple flowers. x
