Try it on Tuesday - Use a Stencil

Hello Everyone!

It's time to start another challenge over at Try it on Tuesday. This time around our theme is USE A STENCIL. I thought I would put together a birthday card for a friend of mine and I wanted to go super girly because she loves all thinks pink and feminine. I pulled out some of my printed flowers and used that as my palette. I hope she likes it.




The flower was cut with Spellbinders Create a Carnation and coloured with distress ink Spun Sugar. The frame, corner piece and little butterflies were made with Martha Stewart and Mod Podge molds, which I painted with Titanium White DecoArt paint. The music notes are from Memory Box. The sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations.

For the background layer, I coloured the paper with distress ink Spun Sugar and then used the Decor 2 stencil from Prima and some DecoArt Crackle Paste to lay down the pattern.





For the largest doily, I used a DecoArt Americana Doily stencil and DecoArt Crackle Paste and then fussy cut it out when it was dry. I coloured it with distress ink Frayed Burlap and Brushed Corduroy. The smallest doily is done the same way, only I used a doily stencil from Recollections. The white doily and small leaf sprigs are from Cheery Lynn.

The butterfly bodies are done with Liquid Pearls Rose Quartz. I also added pearl drops around the outside of the doilies for a little added interest. Love this colour!!




UPDATE:
My card won an award in the following wonderful challenge:




That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. I read and appreciate every single one! If you have any questions, please let me know.

    Oh Pamellia... this is one of my favorites from you! I am in love with your stenciling work. The dainty patterns are stunning and I especially love it on the base layer. That's exactly how I want to start dabbling into mixed media. It's so soft and pretty and I love that it's crackled. Your carnation is exquisite and the doilies are spectacular. Your stenciled ones are so inspiring. The flower cluster, molds, dancing music notes... everything is brilliant and beautiful. Stunning work, my sweet friend! Thank you for the endless inspiration. Have a beautiful day. :o)

    Oh, Pamellia! I was just closing up shop here, when your e-mail came up on my screen. I just couldn't wait 'til tomorrow to open it up and come visit for a while. And I'm so happy I did! I will have sweet dreams tonight after looking at this lovely card. I'm sure your friend will be head over heels when she receives this beauty! I love all those pink, white and kraft textured layers. The rose spray is just lovely, and I love the way you have repeated it in that sweet frame. And your carnation is just so soft and dreamy! I was ordering some goodies today, and there are 3 things on here that I started to order then removed, because my eyes were bigger than my pocket book, but I think I just may have to reconsider that before I send off my order. I need another job...Thank you for making my day much brighter with your beautiful artwork, my friend! Big hugs! (I think this is my new favorite color combo!)

    This sooooooooooooo reminds me of my Auntie Sister who passed away at 96 and begged for (and got) a white casket with pink trim!!! Ugh - guess that sounds pretty morose!! But what I mean is... she loved pink, white, frilly, fluff, doilies, music, and had an acre large rose garden too!!!!!!! If she had received this card - it would have sat in a prized place for years because of it's beauty. And let me assure you - she was VERY VERY particular and perfectionist. Your card, Pamellia, would have surpassed her high scrutiny and received extremely high marks from the one room schoolhouse teacher in Illinois!!!! Auntie Sister would have thought your card EXQUISITE. And it is!!! j.
