Penned Flowers Stencil with Art Gallery

 This wasn't the plan for this card, but I like the way it

ended up.  I think that we need to call this process

Creative Drift.

I had a die cut from the Penned Flowers dies (page 159) out 

and was going to use it as a focal point or frame for a sentiment.  

As I looked at it, it occurred to me that it would make a dandy

stencil for a card background.  I used a blending brush to 

blend the die cut image on to a piece of Pale Papaya.  I filled the

entire layer and also blended the edges.

The sentiment comes from the Art Gallery set (page 13)

and was cut out with the coordinating Floral Gallery Die.

I tried to add ribbon or linen thread behind the sentiment,

but just didn't like the look.  I did like the Mossy Meadow

fern from the Field Flowers dies (page 160) layered

behind the sentiment.  I finished off the card by adding some

Genial gems and layering it on a Very Vanilla card base.

I glued the die cut that I used as a stencil,

to the inside of the card.
