Hello crafty friends,
Today I am sharing a very fun card project using stencils. I used the Polka Dot Buds Layering Stencil (2-in-1) by Altenew to create this beautiful background. I love using my layering stencils. This is a fun way to create your own card backgrounds.
This card is also very special as here I am celebrating challenge number 600 the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. This will be a month long challenge with tons of project inspirations and sponsors and lots of prizes.

I started with a 4' X 5.25' white card panel. The Polka Dot Buds Layering Stencil is a 2 part stencil. I took the stencil with the circles on it which is the center of the flowers. I used SSS Pawsitively Saturated Inks in the shade Citrine, which is bright yellow color.
Next I took the second layer and inked up the leaves using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Inks in the shade Pine.
For both yellow and the green, I used just one color and did not mix lighter and darker shades of the colors. I wanted to keep this card super simple.
Now since I did not play with the shades of colors, I thought I might add some sparkle instead. I used the Ruby Glitter Mousse by Kat Scrappiness. This is a lightweight paste that creates texture, volume and shine to any surface, and is perfect for scrapbooking, decoupage, and mixed media projects. I applied it using my palette knife. I let the paste dry for an hour before adhering this panel onto an A2 size card base.
Here's a closer look at the texture and shine that this glitter mousse creates.
For my sentiment, I used the Sunflower Garden Stamp Set by SSS. I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Onxy Black Ink and matted the white sentiment strip onto a piece of black card stock by Your Paper Insider.
