HLS Stencil May 2023

Welcome to the Happy Little Stamper Stencil Challenge for May 2023 where anything goes!

My card today uses many different brands of products from my stash, but I think they all work together well.

My stencil in the background is from A Colorful Life Designs called Polka Dot Stencil. I ink blended Scrapbook.com Hybrid Ink - Cyan then moved the stencil slightly and used Scrapbook.com Hybrid Ink - Pear.  Then I ran it through my Big Shot with Altenew's Dotted Tile Debossing Cover Die for stitches and movement in the background.

The floral stamps and dies are from Altenew's Fresh Bloom Layering Stamp & Die Set. One day I played with this set all day and tried all different inks from both Altenew and Scrapbook.com...kind of lost track of which blues and greens, but with this set anything works. I really liked the floral image in pinks, as well. 

For the center of the flowers I dabbed some Ranger Ink - Simon Hurley - Lunar Paste in Shooting Star for a little texture. The sentiment comes from Brutus Monroe's Stamp Set called Sharon's Script. This set is one of my absolute favorites of all times for the font and variety of sentiments. There are not too many occasions for which this set wouldn't work.

I inked "Just a Note" with Scrapbook.com's White Pigment Ink several times on Lawn Fawn Black Licorice card stock. Then I sprinkled Ranger Ink's Super Fine White Embossing Powder on it and heat set. I cut it out by hand around the edges - I like that look. This is my preferred way to white heat emboss on black.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you over at our HLS Stencil Challenge this month!
