Petals

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I've had these Petal Perfection stencils and dies for a year now.  I used them once
for this card and always intended to play with them some more.

I really like how the stenciling goes to the edge of the dies!


I'm trying to work on my stenciling techniques.  I fear I still have a way to go, but
Michele's tip on using the Misti is a big help.  Now to get control of the coloring!

I used mixed media paper for these flowers and stenciled a set in yellow and one 
in pink.  I used mixed media paper just in case the coloring didn't turn out so well.
Sometimes a damp brush works good to smooth the color.

I put a few of the flowers in a vase and mounted the bouquet on a piece of
embossed vellum that had been in the drawer waiting for just the right card.

You definitely waited for the right card to use that vellum, Bonnie! It's easy to see that you excel at floral arrangement, too! What a gorgeous bouquet!

Beautiful floral arrangement, Bonnie, and I love the one laying in front. What brushes do you use for stenciling? They can make a difference.
