Stampin’ Up Sending Smiles stencil background

Happy Friday Stampers – I am at it again with today’s Stampin’ Up Sending Smiles stencil background idea!

I saw another idea online from another company and was inspired by Marie Fort’s card to make a Stampin’ Up version. She had stenciled the background and used die cuts for her flowers. I knew I could do this idea with our supplies. I love how simple this card turned out. Maybe I should have added another flower, what do you think?

Check out this beautiful background.  The Stampin' Up Sending Smiles stencil background card uses blending brushes for a pretty soft background.

The Artistic Mix decorative masks have a variety of patterns to play with. Which would be your favorite to play with?

I made a video with tips on using the stencils and to show how I made my card. Here it is.

I played with adding black lines to define the flower head. This was a fun idea to try.

The stamp set has the same image as the die cut that I used to decorate the inside of the card and envelope.

The gems are the perfect touch for the Stampin' Up Sending Smiles stencil background

Here is another idea using the same stamp set as today’s card. Another quick and easy idea with this bundle. One of the other stamps in the set was used to create this idea.

Did you like the 2 toned background on this card? It was fun to create and I love the look it gives the card.

Thanks for visiting me today and have a Fabulous Friday!
