To make this card I stencilled pearlescent embossing paste through a Dreamweaver Stencil LX7021 (about 6.25 X 4.5 inches). I dusted it with some silver mica powder while it was still wet. Once it was dry, I trimmed it down a tad and went around all of the petals with various Copic markers to highlight and provide colour.
This was a nice technique because the colours are vibrant and happy, but the silver paste petals tone down the effect and are less "in your face."
I am entering this on the Dreamweaver blog (inspired by spring!) and on Seize the Birthday, too. Keep dreaming!

OMG this is stunning, really...I must give this a try with a stencil I have, you are so right the sentiment is perfect, but the placement of the flowers around it is fabulous!! So glad you joined us at Seize the Birthday!
Charmine, your stenciled image is lovely and how creative with the inks around the flowers! Who would have guessed! Your mattes and sentiment are perfect for it! Beautiful!!
Absolutely gorgeous! What a lovely effect! Thanks for playing along with Seize the Birthday!
