Thinking of You

A neighbor is going through some serious health challenges and I thought a peaceful card with a bit of sparkle would help to cheer her up . . .

This layout features one stencil used three ways:  the upper part of the card front was sponged through the stencil with VersaMark and then some clear embossing powder with a little sparkle was dusted on and heated.

The burgundy layer was stenciled with a very light tan stencil paste.  I skimmed over the paste to flatten it a little and keep the texture on the subtle side.  After it was dry, I sponged over the whole layer with ink.

The lower part of the card front is another layer I stenciled with coarse embossing paste which gave the design lots of texture and dimension.  The twig was propped up with dots of Glossy Accents added to the ends of the stems . . .
