I die cut Poppystamps Potpourri Flower Set from 3 peachy cardstocks plus white and vellum. Glad it's a one piece die! The green was made with May Green Faber Castell Pitt Artist pen, including inking the MFT Paint Splatter Background with it. The die for the handle was missing, but luckily the j in an old MFT alpha set was a great replacement. The card front is GKD Whisper cardstock--a soft gray. Poppystamps Scribble Hello and beautiful iridescent gems finish off my card that is headed to a friend.
Last year when I was lucky to design for an Altenew release, one of the products I received was Dynamic Duo: Modern Dahlia Bunch. So versatile to be able to use the stencils with or without the die. 
For this card, I stenciled each flower one at a time, placing them where I wanted on the panel. The Altenew inks are Fuchsia, Baby Pink, Maple Yellow, Fresh Lemon, Caribbean Sky and Arctic--colors for the Altenew May Inspiration Challenge. I inked the flower centers in Versamark and embossed in Hero Arts Sparkle powder. You can see the shine and sparkle in my IG post. I wrapped white crochet thread under the sentiment from Altenew's Essential Sentiment Strips Die Set. The darker 3 inks were splattered and 3 black enamel dots finish my card. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday and Just Us Girls stencil challenge.
The stencilled flowers are very prettily done, but maybe the umbrella of blooms might pip it this time.
