March 2023 Inspiration Challenge | Simple Stenciled Card

by Terri

Inspiration Challenge 2023 03 SQ Option 11

Hey there, Terri here! I am super excited to be hosting the March 2023 Inspiration Challenge and I'm sharing a simple stenciled card.

I chose to use a photo I took on a family vacation! We visited Caldicot Castle in Wales, UK. Caldicot Castle is an extensive stone medieval castle surrounded by a 55-acre country park.

I was inspired to use this photo for the March Inspiration Challenge as the natural colors and textures really spoke to me. I thought the mix of green and stone colors would make an interesting challenge.

Meadow Burst Stencil

I started by using the Meadow Burst Layering Stencil to add the stunning design to a piece of 110lb Solar Crest Cardstock. I chose the following colors to represent the image Raw AmberYellow OchreMisty MoorHazelnutJust Green, and Hunter Green Crisp Dye Inks. I used Altenew's Mini Blending Brushes to add ink through each of the stencils, they are perfectly sized and gave a beautiful smooth blend.

I added a few inky splatters using the Hazelnut dye ink, added a small amount to a glass mat, and spritzed it with water. I then used a fan brush to pick up the color and gently splattered it over the card, this gives a smaller, uniform splatter.

The sentiment was created by ink blending Hazelnut for the shadow layer and Yellow Ochre for the detail layer onto 110lb Solar Crest Cardstock.

I then cut the sentiment using the XOXO & More Die Set. I layered them together and added the sentiment to the right corner of the card. I finished by adding 3 enamel hearts from the Fall Harvest Enamel Dots Set.

Now, it's your turn! Take on the Inspiration Challenge and start creating. Good luck!
