I used a cream panel laying on my table with Altenew inks Blush Rose, Wisteria and Sagestone plus CN9 inks Pink Lemonade and Artichoke. It was night when I finished stenciling and I wasn't sure I liked it enough to use it for a card. Decided to leave it overnight and see what I thought in the daylight. Next day I cut it down and brushed the edges with the Sagestone ink. Then I used my finger to apply gold wax through the stencil for the flower centers--so beautiful! Now the panel was growing on me, so I mixed a bit of water with some of the wax and splattered it over the panel. I picked up the leftover with a small brush and went around the edges. The mat was brushed with Blush Rose to match and I attached the panels to the center of a cream card. Debated about the sentiment and decided on an old Winnie and Walter stamp/die set. The little word was stamped in Artichoke and spring was die cut twice and brushed with a shimmer pen. Pulled out the new to me Poppystamps Bunches o' Butterflies. I chose one, inked it with Pink Lemonade, dabbed a bit of gold wax on the tips of the wings and attached a gold glitter dot to the body. You can see the shine and shimmer in my IG post. Glad I didn't toss the stenciled panel as I ended up with a card I really like. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday.
