Make It Monday #241: Ombre Stenciled Backgrounds

The kids returned home to Wisconsin and a snow storm yesterday.  I feel sad, but when I got home from the airport, I had Happy Mail from PTI.  No better way to get happy again then to get Happy Mail.  Today, after gobs of laundry and cleaning, I made a card for The Make it Monday Challenge.  Take a look at the Stenciled Background that was done by Betsy Veldman.

Here is my card. 
































 I sponged four inks into white paper. 
PTI Melon Berry, Limeade Ice, Aqua Mist
 Mama Elephant,Winter
Then placed a stencil for Simon Says called Gingham over the top and followed her instructions. 

I like what I got.  The stamp for the flowers is Peonies on Parade from PTI.  Colored with Copic markers.
R14, 21, 22
YG 3,23,63

Fussy cut and attached with foam tape.  I put glossy accents for dew drops on the flower pedals. 
Here is a closer look at the dew drops.

Thanks so much for dropping in today.  If you care to leave a comment, it would make me smile.
