Hi Sunshine

I just noticed that Inkspirational Challenge #370 Word Prompt - Leftovers was their latest theme and just two days ago I saved a piece of card stock that was the die cut negative piece of a floral card I was making. My intention was to use it in the future for a stencil. What are the chances that today this challenge popped up? So I got to work using it. Here is my card.

I have saved the die cut negative before when I notice that it could make a good stencil. This one has some spaces that needed a space filled in so I moved the stencil to add a flower with an existing die cut opening. The die that made this stencil is one piece and it quickly made what ended up as a stencil.

What I used:

• Poppystamps Nordic Scatter Flowers 2773 die
• Concord & 9th Basket Weave Card Front die
• Waffle Flower A2 Nested Domes dies, Overlapping Hello Additions stamp and die sets
• Ranger Distress ink pads
• Pink and Main Glitter Enamel Shapes
• Catherine Pooler Queen for a Day ink pad

After stenciling, I decided on a dome-shaped card and die cut the stenciled panel, then added the basket weave pattern to it with that die. I die cut a hot pink, orange, and two white arches in graduated sizes to form the mats and card base. (For the card base I like to die cut two, score one close to the left side, then adhere together with tear tape on the skinny scored edge to join them into a foldable card.) The stenciled panel is popped up on foam tape for dimension.

I assembled the card and layers, then stamped and die cut the sentiment with purple ink. Last, I added the enamel dots for more texture and sparkle!

And that is it! Thanks for stopping by!
