I tried some sponging on a MS stencil. I LIKE it! Fast and easy. Years and years and years ago, I used to stencil onto fabric, etc. I never thought I would be doing it again, but I like this easy new version. Bonus:your card is lighter in weight if you want it to be.
I painted the magnolias with inks and then fussy-cut them. There is glimmer mist on the flowers but the photo doesn't show it. I also spritzed the stencilled area with water but you can't tell that either! LOL!
I HOPE your heart is lighter after seeing the spring colours. I know it perked me up. Thanks for stopping by. ((((Hugs)))) to anyone who needs one.

What an absolutely beautiful card! And yes-- it did indeed make me think of Spring, despite the gloomy gray clouds that are looking down on me. I was really stunned by the attention to detail you included, especially the fussy-cutting of the flower. It must've taken some patience, but the result is really striking. I also liked the colors you used in the background and the way they blend so nicely into one another. The sentiment is the perfect accompaniment to your images. Wonderful project and I'm so glad you shared your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
