Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
What a glorious spring day as I write this!
This is not a flower that I'm very familiar with, but when I saw this
embossing folder, stencil combination, I was intrigued.
Then it was on sale and it caught me.
This was not my first try.
My first try almost convinced me to say no to
any more stencils! I seem to have an issue lining them up whether I emboss
first of after coloring.
So I stood up to line the stencil on the embossed image. It's still hard for me to
see, but it did line up better.
Will I be buying more embossing folder, stencil sets? Maybe.
Will I be comfortable using stencils eventually? Hopefully.
I used blending brushes and Distress inks for all the coloring.
I used the finer point of an Arteza Twi-marker for the stamens.

Very pretty. I think you did great with the stenciling. I know it is hard at times to get them lined up perfectly but they always seem to turn out fine as yours did here. Love the butterfly too.
Oh my, this is gorgeous, Bonnie. There are a variety of tricks to line up stencils so keep trying. This one looks pretty perfect to me.
I forgot to thank you for sharing this beauty with us at Just Us Girls.
I am in the same frame of mind when it comes to those stencil/emboss sets - though I admit to struggling with a few stencil sets, too, Bonnie. Just keep practicing! Looks like you are destined to become a pro looking at this gorgeous card! I love it! You'll have hummingbirds at your window if you put it there!

You're too hard on yourself Bonnie as this card is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Lining up stencils can be a pain, but it will get easier as you go along. Watch some Laura Bassen or Carissa Wiley videos for lining up stencils...they both have wonderful tips. But anyway, your card is so pretty and I just love the colors you used and then surrounded by all the white...totally makes the Fuchsia's stand out! Beautifully done my friend!! Hugs. :0)
