Hello and welcome!
I had just a little time to play in the cave today and I made this card with a few challenges in mind.
I used the stencil with pastel inks from MFT and sponge applicators, then cut around the stencil (top of folded card) to make this one layer Easter card. The sentiment is from a 2002 Stampin' Up set and I added black dots with a black marker for more definition.
Here's what it looks like when it's open:
And here's what it looks like standing up:
One more picture of it laying down with the top propped up:
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wowzer Angie...what a great card. Love the idea of cutting around the stenciling.
ReplyDeleteThis is just stunning!!!! The edge is fabulous, simply GENIUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful card and I love the cutting around the design to create such a fancy card fold. Awesome colors too!
ReplyDeleteWow, Angie! This is an amazing card. And the process you went through to achieve precisely the look you wanted--again, wow! I love the subtle colours. I love those black dots. And, best of all, I love the way you've cut around the stencilled design to emphasize the pattern and to create something very unique. Great work!

Bravo! What a totally unique, and incredibly beautiful card Angie. It was an inspiration to cut away the front around the stencilled section so that we could see the lovely white space beneath. Love this Thank you so much for sharing this with us at Less is More xx
