Happy Little Stampers: Stencils

A new month of challenges continues at Happy Little Stampers with the Stencil Challenge! As my love affair with stamping and stencil colouring continues, another card of this style:

This is a stamp and stencil combo from Canadian company Pigment Craft Co. (There are dies, too, I just didn't need them this time.) After stamping and embossing with a sparkly black powder, I used the stencils to colour the flowers and leaves. Even though my stencil placement was occasionally imperfect (user error!), I still love how easy it was to colour everything. The shape seemed to lend itself to an off-centre panel cut, matted on an orange panel to go with the deepest shade of ink. A simple sentiment was the only other thing I felt the card needed. 

Although I didn't have to "add" the leaves, I hope this counts for the current Flower Challenge. 

Lots of beautiful birthday card inspiration from my Happy Little Stampers teammates! I hope you will make a birthday card and join us.
