Hello weekend!
Today I have a fun new card to share with you using two of my favorite things: Distress Inks + Stencils!
I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks with the My Favorite Things Wildflower Stencil on Tim Holtz Watercolor Paper for this pretty flower bouquet. This bottle stamp from Bottle It Up by Avery Elle made the perfect container for this bright and pretty floral arrangement!
To give the SSS Audrey Blue Cardstock card base a bit of texture or pattern, I used the SSS Diagonal Stripe Stencil with the Peacock Feathers Distress Ink.
A greeting from the Avery Elle Needle Little Love Stamp Set perfectly finishes the card!
