The stencil has a sky full of butterflies too, but I masked those off and then used Starlight Metallic Paints which have a beautiful pearlescent sheen to colour the sections of the stencil, again using masking to keep the colours separate. The photo doesn't really do justice to the paint finish, it's not really something a camera can pick up well.
To keep plenty of white space I added the sentiment over the flower stems by stamping and heat embossing it onto vellum. The ends are tucked under the top layer but I also added a tiny patch of adhesive dots underneath the writing where they don't show.
I am sharing this with

Lovely card.
ReplyDeleteLove the vellum you added to these flowers. I never think to use vellum on my cards and I always love it!
ReplyDeleteDon’t have a lot of stencils but must hold my hand up to owning an extensive range of those starlight paints. Untouched
ReplyDeleteI might add. How bad is that. Naughty step here
I come!! I like the way you have used the sentiment onto the vellum. Just checked and
I only have vellum for some reason in pink and and green. Must rectify that ASAP. Hugs Mrs
