Impressionist Garden with Laurie

Hello Greetery friends!  It’s Laurie Willison here! 

Today I have the perfect quick and easy card using a newer stencil set called Impressionist Garden.  This set is SO easy to blend up with just a few colors to create a gorgeous background.  I paired the branches with the A2 Arches Die to create a 2 layer card, giving the image a layered look.  

First, I created two stenciled panels using a 4 ¾” x 6” white cardstock panel (which is the size of the stencil) so both of the stenciled images would be in the same place on each card.  

Next, I used the 3rd to the largest of the A2 Arches Die to cut out an arch from the stenciled panel.  I used Arched Sentiments to add that beautiful sentiment in black ink.  

Once I had the arched panel centered on top of the first panel, I attached it with foam tape for dimension.  I used my trimmer to cut down the card front to 4 ¼’ x 5 ½’.  I added the panel to a white card base and finished it off with a few clear drops on the front.  

I am so glad you stopped by today and I hope you enjoyed today’s project!  If you are inspired to create a clean and simple card, please tag me when you share over on Instagram! I love to see all your creations!
