KIS and Tell with Stencils...

Time to KIS and Tell, with this fortnights theme of Keep it Simple Stencils Challenge!

This technique was a happy accident!  I had coloured my first Prima stencil using graduated Squeezed Lemon, Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar Distress Inks, then wiped the excess inks from the top of my stencil before I started this card. After painting a base coat of Gesso over the old bookpaper, I filled the stencil with texture paste, and lo and behold - the texture paste soaked up the Distress Inks which had not been wiped off the inside edges of the stencil, leaving these gorgeous coloured edges around the edges of my flowers!  Finished my card with this fabulous Winnie & Walter banner stamped in Momento Ink Rose Bud, sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set on my vellum fishtail flag banner.

Take a look at the rest of the cards from the fabulous 

Keep It Simple DT.

Hope you get a chance to play along - can't wait to see what you create!
