DT: ATSM #510 Die cuts and/or stencils

Normally when it comes to this challenge for ATSM I choose to go with die cuts so I decided to challenge myself to instead go with stencils!

I chose to use an Altenew stencil and stamp duo that creates these fab letters and then also has the wobbly flower elements. So I cut myself a panel for a DL card and had fun selecting pinks, purples and blues for this card.

The insides of the letters are then stamped and so I went with black to make it bold which meant I then added the black elements to both the flower centres and the little dotty elements I chose to stamp as contrast.

I then heat embossed the second sentiment onto black with white embossing and chose to mount the panel on black to give it a really slim frame.

I think this helped to make the colours pop a little more!

I added the gems but wanted just something a little more – so I used my wink of Stella to outline the flowers and add a little definition to the letters too!

I kept the inside simple with just a strip of black – not exactly massively hard work – but I think it helped finish it off.

Hope you like my fun and slightly funky card! I am quite pleased with how it came out!

Happy crafting!
