Crazy for Stencils!

I have been obsessed with layering stencils these past few weeks, thanks to Taylored Expressions recent Stamp Joy event. I never really got the hang of ink blending before, but blending brushes and the tips I learned while creating cards that weekend, made it worth another try! 
The floral feature of this card is TE's Autumn Array.  Ink blending is more evident in the background stencil, Go with the Flow. The bold black sentiment is from a TE product that came with the Stamp Joy kit and hasn't been released yet, called Mod Sentiments.  I popped the floral array out on foam and added some Drip Drops for sparkle. 
My mindset with stenciling is more about "playing" and being curious than when I use my Copics.  Not sure why - but I am having a different kind of fun!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog.                     In kindness, Cathy

    Well this is some beautiful stenciling right there. Such a sweet card, and so beautifully designed! Lots of fabulous work here, thanks so much for playing along with us for the last time over at the Mod Squad. I am very sad that we are retiring, it has been a great ride. Hope to see you around the web!!
