Here’s a card I made at our recent Stamp Camp. It was taught by Leoni Cane. I loved the technique of sanding the two tone paper to further highlight the pretty embossed background.

The stamp is from the Layers of Beauty bundle, which includes decorative masks, (stencils), dies and stamps.

The DSP is from Nests of Winter paper pack. It worked well with the Pool Party two toned paper.

The stencils make colouring the flowers so easy. For the lightest and darkest colours, I used a blending brush. For the middle colour, I used a sponge dauber and dabbed colour on. It gave a more mottled effect, whereas the blending brushes give a very smooth finish.I added Wink of Stella to my flowers for an extra sparkle.

How cute is the little gold bee? A perfect finish to this card.
