Started with a BG made with Jean's Adhesive resist technique from yesterday. I tried Golden's Acrylic glaze sponged through a decorative paper stencil, that I been reinforced with a gel varnish for strength and durability and easy clean up. Sprayed with gold metallic and green Dylusion. Rubbed with a baby wipe. Results were very subtle, but it worked. This morning, to answer Polly's Tea Potter's call, I used a Martha Stewart's Morning Glory stencil with DecoArt's Metallic Lustre. First sprayed the back of the stencil with a temporary adhesive. Used my finger to get into the nooks and crannies and it went on like butter. Very smooth and easy and a lovely sheen. I stamped the sentiment on a sticker label, and used the Scan 'n Cut to fussy cut it and the purple border backing. When I went looking for a washi tape, this was obviously the one for color and I didn't even see the elephant motif! Talk about the art Muse doing her job! I love her.

That red stenciled flower sure POPs on this card and I bet the lustre looks even better IRL. I thought you added the elephants specifically for their whimsy factor but Art Muse works., too . . .

This is just fantastic! Your background is gorgeous and really showcases this wonderful stenciled design you created. I chuckled about the purple elephants and Art Muse doing her job. What a wonderful card this is for Cammie. ~Karen.

What adorable washi tape...I saw the elephants straight away and thought that the floral stencil looked like the sort of design you could imagine painted on an elephant's forehead for a festival. Wonderful rich colours.

So pretty! Your flower is fabulous and that washi tape is very cool with that sentiment. Lovely card, Lori. Hugz

I always forget that I can cut sentiments with my ScanNCut. I did it a few times and really liked it--as I like yours! What a cool card with the perfect elephant washi tape.
