Step 1 of 12

Place stencil 1 in the centre of the white card positioned in landscape view. 

Blend closely around the Daisies with the Hickory Smoke first, then blend with the Salvaged Patina, working it out towards the edge of the stencil, as seen here. 

Step 2 of 12

Line up stencil 2 and blend with the Kitsch Flamingo, keeping it dark in the centre of the flower and blending it out through the petals. 

Step 3 of 12

Having lined up stencil 3, blend the Fossilized Amber in the centres of the Daisies and the Salvaged Patina down the stem. 

Step 4 of 12

Place the right hand edge of stencil 1 so it kisses the left edge of the centre stencilled window (allowing you to have an equal distance, when you come to do the third window). 

 

Step 5 of 12

Using the same sequence of colours as before, blend through each of the 3 stencils. 

Step 6 of 12

This time, line up the left edge of stencil 1 so it kisses the right edge of the centre stencilled window. 

Step 7 of 12

Again repeat the same sequence of colours through all 3 stencils. 

Step 8 of 12

Ink up the co-ordinating stamp with the Onyx Black Versafine and stamp over each of the stencilled windows, reinking each time for a clear, solid image. 

Step 9 of 12

Adhere your stencilled artwork on to your black, landscape card blank and pop to one side. 

Step 10 of 12

Ink up the sentiment with the Versafine and stamp on to the white card, cut to 2 1/2 x 3/4". 

Adhere this on to the black card (2 3/4 x 1"). 

Step 11 of 12

Adhere with foam pads, to the bottom right of your artwork. 

Step 12 of 12

Finish off by adding Stickles to the centres of your Daisies.
