I began by masking off my card front with painter's tape then stenciled the lattice first then stenciled over that with the blue flowers you see on the side.
(I did a TLC challenge here called Do a Double Take a few wks ago that was stencil over stencil)
Next, I stamped and embossed the flowers off to the left hand side then stamped the sentiment and added some gunge stamping along the edges to help define the main panel.
thanks for looking, http://snippets-karen.blogspot.ca/20...r-collage

Karen, I love your layer by layer cards. This is just beautiful. The elements you add to your card add so much.

Oh wow! I've read your description several times and understand how you've created your wonderful card. Your style is wonderful and what I will make when I can stamp! Just wonderful.

Wonderful effect you achieved from combining stencils ~ I still have to try this (so many ideas, so little time!). The crisp, black floral stamping and greeting really "pop".
