My project was made using the StencilGirl Layered Peonies stencil and Impression Obsession Hello sentiment and Small Leaf Set.
I had lots of fun playing with foliage image on the stencil. I used a sponge dauber to apply Peeled Paint ink to the stencil. I moved the stencil around to cover the cardstock with a leaf pattern in darker and lighter shades of green. I applied mounting tape to the back of the leaf layer and attached it to the card base.
I cut the Hello sentiment once with green cardstock and once with craft-a-board. I used Cosmic Glitter Glue to attach the two pieces together sentiments together and then attached the sentiment to the cream cardstock. I added one leaf to the sentiment layer for the finishing touch. Although I didn’t use it on my project today Impression Obsession has a coordinating Hello Stamp Set.
Thanks for coming by today and I hope you enjoy the blog hop.

Very beautiful card!!
You had me with green. Your choice of the foliage component of the stencil was spectacular. Great work, soft gracious design makes me want to pick this card up a read what’s inside.
Pretty cool done with stencils
Very pretty! I have that stencil by Jessica Sporn. I think I will have to play with it today. Tjsnm8for the inspiration. 🙂
Beautiful. CAS will win ever time
I have almost as many leaf stamps and stencil as I have dots and circles – so an excellent blog hop for me today – got to some blog I have not been to before.
Never would have guessed this was you. It is different but oh so good.
Fall is right around the corner – hopefully!! Always starts my holiday mood to prepare for upcoming events. mcsuetexas(at)yahoo(dotcom)
Pretty card. Love the stencil.
I love the shadowing affect with the leaves.
I like how you moved the stencil to get a layered look, love the green color, too. Using the bigger dauber looks like a great idea for a project like this. Thank you for the idea!

This is gorgeous! So soft and inviting! And yet still CAS and not overpowering in its layering. It’s the Goldilock’s of stenciling… just right 😉
Great stenciling. This card is dynamic with only one color even more with just one ink. Beautiful.
What a beautiful card! I love how soft it is, with all of the depth you got from the different shades of green. Just lovely!
