Navy and Lime Green?!?!

The challenge this week at Color Hue is Lime Green and Navy.  Interesting combo that I was unsure I could manage.  Be sure to check out the design team offerings, gave me a whole new perspective!

The stencil and dies are from Concord & 9th, from the Crop and Create spring 2022 class.  I used SU! Lemon Lime and Night of Navy inks, with different saturations.

Layered Stencils

 I participated in the Crop and Create online event last March, and was introduced to layering stencils by Taylored Expressions.  So easy, and I love how detailed they are!

This one is called In My Garden.  The stencil makes 3 mini slimline cards at a time, all of them different.  After I finished stenciling, I used markers and a white gel pen to add some highlights to the flowers.  

I love stacking multiple cuts of word dies.  Vicki Boutin used puffy foam to achieve the dimension.  Genius!  Much cleaner than trying to perfectly glue together a bunch of layers, and the foam I had on hand already had adhesive on one side.
