Don't you love it?

I recently purchased Taylored Expressions' first Triple Slim Layering Stencil called In the Garden.  Y'ALL!!!!  This stencil set is SO easy to use and turns out SO beautifully that I know I'll be using this for many, many years to come!  Check out my very first attempt at some mini slims using our colors for the week and these stencils.

I followed Taylor's video instructions for stenciling and using Prismacolor pencils for outlining and highlighting.  I added splatters like she did but I used the ink colors of the flowers instead of metallic ink.  The new Signature Sentiments are the perfect complement to these florals!

The first 2 cards shown are horizontal mini slim cards.  I didn't have any 12 x 12 cardstock, which is what you would use to create a vertical mini slim (6 x 3.5), so I used the finished stenciled panel on a regular A2 card base letting it rise above the fold of the card.  I like how it turned out!

Sooooo......now it's your turn to play along with our challenge.  The details are on the CTD blog and all the inspiration you could possibly need can be found here:

No Way!! These are stencils? If you wouldn’t have said so, I never would have guessed. Beautiful, Bold and so Cool! I may need to watch that video and see how you step up your stencil game with colored pencils. Use what you have to make it better than imaged sounds like a good idea. Wishing you a lovely Easter.
