Hi! A fun spring card today using one of my go to and most relaxing techniques.

I find ink blending using layered stencils is the most relaxing and fun technique of card making. Nothing to think of. Just you and your colorful inks.
For this gorgeous card I used the Crocus Flutter die and the matching stencil set by Waffle Flower. The set comes with 4 stencils making the process really fool proof! Just use your favorite color combinations to recreate the same card again and again… use rainbow colors or go monochromatic by using shades of the same color. No matter what, every card will look stunning!
I placed the whole panel on top of black, this way you can see the back from the popped up designs. It works as a shadow making them look even more dimensional.

Love the colors you used! Such a cheery card! I overthink crafting too so when I’ve lost my mojo or am looking for something to relieve stress I stamp some images on paper, pull out my polychromo pencils and practice. I tell myself that I’m just practicing and if I like how the coloring turns out it can be a card; if not I’m doing something for myself. I can get lost for hours just playing with coloring. For me it’s meditative, it calms me down, it focuses my mind and maybe in the end I have something for a card; otherwise, I’m learning something new. Thank you for the video and for the question!
