Sunny Pink Flower

Good morning!  Did you see the great new August stencil release at A Colorful Life Designs yesterday??  I love all the stencils in this release!

For today's card, I used the new Sunflowerly stencil two different ways.  First, I die cut this flower from Brutus Monroe and then I placed the Sunflowerly stencil over the flower, making sure to line up the centers together.  I brushed some dark pink ink over the stencil, removed the stencil, and then brushed a lighter pink ink all over the sunflower.  I added the die cut sentiment to a white circle and glued it to the center of the stenciled flower.

After I cleaned off the Sunflowerly stencil, I placed it over a piece of white cardstock and ran it through my die cut machine with a tan embossing mat.  I dry embossed the stencil so you can see the raised areas in the background.  Check out this picture below:

Isn't that cool?  You can dry emboss with your stencils!  I rotated the stenciled flower so the dark pink dots matched up with the embossed areas on the white panel, and then I glued this panel down to a dark pink card base.
