Lindy's Magicals through a stencil

It's been a while since I played with powdered inks and stencils so it was time to pull them out.
I used the Tim Holtz blossom stencil with Lindys magicals spritzed with water, when the ink was dry I used a blending tool to blend around the edges into the centre.  A little background stamping with the Tim Holtz flowers and ledger script stamp.  The quote is from a Local King set (still life) which I think has now been discontinued.  I threw my paint on the canvas and this is what I got 😉 I hope you like it.

I love this card! The colours are so beautiful and the bit of text and sponging around the stenciled image add so much to the image.

WOW! I love the way the Lindy's colored the flowers in the stencil and the sponged and subtly stamped background make them even prettier! Very artsy and true to the sentiment!

What a fabulous collage you created! Love all the elements and the gorgeous combination of colors. I always loved the look of text in the background too. This is beautifully composed!

This is a marvelous look with the Lindys. Did you use sprays, or put the mica powder down, then spritz with water? It's very effective, and brilliant idea to shade with the DI's over towards the edge. It's a very soothing & lovely transition of your colors. The text background is another subtle detail that gives a lot of dimension to this pretty card. TFS

Your complex background is so amazing. I love multi-colored flowers from the template. They look stunning. Adding a script to the background makes the background take on a mysterious character. Great card, Christine !!
