One Layer Happy Easter Card with Altenew's Leaf Burst Stencil

Hello and welcome!
I had just a little time to play in the cave today and I made this card with a few challenges in mind.

I used the stencil with pastel inks from MFT and sponge applicators, then cut around the stencil (top of folded card) to make this one layer Easter card.  The sentiment is from a 2002 Stampin' Up set and I added black dots with a black marker for more definition.


Here's what it looks like when it's open:



And here's what it looks like standing up:


One more picture of it laying down with the top propped up:


Thanks so much for stopping by!

  4. Wow, Angie! This is an amazing card. And the process you went through to achieve precisely the look you wanted--again, wow! I love the subtle colours. I love those black dots. And, best of all, I love the way you've cut around the stencilled design to emphasize the pattern and to create something very unique. Great work!

  6. You've really created a unique and beautiful card with this new stencil Angie. I love the pastel shading and those black dots really make the pattern jump out. The cut away on the stencil image really makes this CAS card stand apart. Thanks for sharing your beautiful card at this week's Watercooler Wednesday "Any Occasion" challenge.
