Hello Beautiful

 Hello to you. This is "Hello Beautiful".

I was in the mood to do stencil work, so I hit it twice! Sponging on colour, and adding embossing paste. I love the touch of elegant texture the paste adds to my background and the way it makes the sponged stencil work shine. 
 I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade and Crushed Olive for my sponging, which I also used to watercolour the Wildflower stem.
The sentiment is stamped in my Misti using Ranger Archival Ink in Monarch Orange and glued to the circle using Nuvo Adhesive Glue.
The Spellbinder Circle die is attached to the card base using foam tape, which adds further dimension to the card.

I added some Nuvo Obsidian Black Aqua Pen to the fronds of the flower. For the inside I die cut a panel with my Penny Black Stitched Stackers, and did some further sponging using the same colours, then stamped the Penny Black sentiment using the Ranger Archival Monarch Orange ink.

 I hope you have enjoyed this card and wish to thank you for visiting today.
