On Your Anniversary

 Blue Ribbon #4

Stencil mania has struck big-time and what a wonderful thing it is!  Affordably priced, they are a boost to both innovative creativity and the stamping industry as a whole.  One of the all-time best ideas has been the development of layering stencils . . . 


 With anywhere from three to five different layers, it's possible to do the kind of incredible color layering that would be impossible with a single stencil or by hand.   I'm having trouble inserting a link, but you can go to "Layered Stencils and Mini Slimline Cards" on YouTube to check out some great ways for using the same layered stencil set that I did with this card.  

The coordinating die cuts all of them out at once and is very easy to position. You get four flower clusters and two leafy sprigs in this set.  After die cutting them, brushes and Oxide Inks are the perfect combo for absolutely flawless color application and blending.
