Uniko and Hero Arts

Uniko Layered Picked Posies stencil set is one of my favorites, so wanted to use it for an Easter card.  This time I didn't add the small blooms or change the position of any images.  I did discover that some brushes work better than other for stencils.  

My first panel was ruined, but that gave me a chance to see exactly which ink colors I liked the best.  I ended up with Altenew Strawberry, Dusty Pink, Blush Rose, Lime and Fresh Leaf.  I splattered Champagne Gold watercolor and used it to color a white scrap for the Poppystamps Proper Happy Easter shadow.  The letters are covered in shimmer which you can see in my IG post.  Added gold and pink sequins.  I'm entering JUGS and SSS Wednesday

Here's my last minute second entry for the March challenge at Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero.  I took the 2010 Flower Medley stamp off it's block since I knew it had to be stamped several times to get a good impression.  Love the new Versafine Clair Hawthorn Rose color and thought it'd be lovely for an Easter card.  I had to add warmth to my photo to show the Rose color, but that, of course, made the white look cream.  Better color in my IG post, at least when I look at it using my phone. 

I die cut Spellbinders Labels 18 from the image and then spritzed both pieces with Heidi Swapp white Color Shine.  It gives a beautiful shimmer which you can get an idea of in my IG post video.  I added a couple white cardstock layers before gluing the diecut in place.  The stitched rectangle is Gina K and the sentiment is an old one by TPC.  I added Moonstone sequins and inked the card front edges to match.  I'm also entering Snippets Playground as I used scraps for everything but the card base.

Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.  If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
