Last week I discovered that I NEEDED the April "free" with purchase stencil and stamp combo from Taylored Expressions - and I have to say, it doesn't disappoint!! Squeeze the Day is a layering stencil (and clear stamp set) with the fruit as one layer and the leaves as the second layer. The stamp comes with sentiments as well as leaf details and a cluster of dots for the bottom of the fruit. I stamped this on watercolor paper because I knew I wanted to spatter it. After I finished stenciling, I decided to ink up the lemons with Versa Mark ink and then use TE's White Pearl EP, which gives the lemons a pearlized sheen, plus it adds some texture to them! I finished off the card by adding TE's Diagonal Stitch Rectangle Stacklet dies to the frame I cut and sprinkled it with some sequins. The sentiment is heat embossed in TE's Copper EP and mounted on a Toffee card base. Still going strong with stenciling and TE's layering stencils continue to keep me interested and cranking out cards!! Thanks for stopping by my blog. In kindness, Cathy
