My card today is another card to add to my stash waiting for a sentiment. I like to keep several cards on had that I can quickly add a sentiment to.

For this card, I combined foiling and stenciling.

After cutting my white and black panels using Master Layouts #1, I began with the stenciling on the white panel.

• I first used Masking Magic to add a small border to my white panel.
• I then added the panel to my Ultra Sticky Mat and placed the stencil on top.
• After applying my first layer of color, I removed the stencil and gave it one quarter of a turn and added it back to my Ultra Sticky Mat on top of my white panel.
• Once I had my stenciling done, I added it to the black mat and onto my cardbase.

• I had some leftover foil from the card that I created here and instead of letting the foil go to waste, I used the foil on some Poly-Glaze paper to create the reverse image.
• I also foiled another flower from the Delicate Flowers Poly-Glaze paper.
• Since this only foils the outline, I first die cut the flower and then added it to my Ultra Sticky Mat and the coordinating stencil over the image so I could apply ink.
• I added color using my die ink pads and a blending brush. I started with my lighter color and before removing the first stencil, I added a little bit of darker ink towards the bottom of the petals.
• I added the second stencil and the same color that I had added on the previous petals. Once done, I added an even darker color to the base of the petals.
• I used the coordinating dies to cut out the leaves. I also cut three additional die cuts from white paper to adhere to the back of the leaves.

This was a quick and easy card to put together. The reverse foiling of the leaves added a lot of shine to the card with minimal time and effort. By saving your leftover foil and using it on some blank Poly-Glaze paper, you can stretch your supplies.
