Create an elegant shaped floral card featuring beautiful blooms in pink and purple tones with green foliage. Using a five-layer stencil system, you'll build depth and dimension through careful layering, then use a coordinating die to cut the distinctive shaped card outline. This sophisticated design combines stencilling techniques with die-cutting to produce a stunning card perfect for any special occasion.

Step by step

1. 

   Lay out your five layering stencils in numerical order on your work surface. The stencils feature a floral design and should be arranged in sequence from 1 to 5.

   ▶ watch this step (23:45)
2. 

   Select your chosen ink colour and apply it through the first layer of the stencil. Use the heart-shaped registration guides on the stencil to position it accurately on your card base.

   ▶ watch this step (24:00)
3. 

   Continue building up the floral design by repeating the stenciling process with layers two, three, four, and five in sequence. Allow each layer to dry slightly before adding the next to prevent colours from bleeding together.

4. 

   For a single-layer effect, use metallic inks on just one stencil layer for subtle detail. This creates a more understated look compared to the multi-layered approach.

   ▶ watch this step (24:15)
5. 

   Use the coordinating die from the Perfect Bloom set to cut out the exterior decorative shape of your stencilled floral design.

   ▶ watch this step (25:00)
6. 

   Turn the stencil upside down and position it at the top of your card. This creates a cascading design flowing downwards from the top edge.

   ▶ watch this step (25:30)
7. 

   Mount your finished stencilled floral panel onto a white card base with a black border frame. Position the panel centrally to create a neat, professional finish.

   ▶ watch this step (26:00)
8. 

   Add any additional embellishments such as sparkle or texture paste if desired to complete your card.

Tips from the show

• You don't need multiple ink pads; use the same colour in light to dark tones for beautiful results.
• The stencil system makes you look like an artist even if you're not confident with freehand techniques.
• You can cut smaller cards from the design or use just segments of the layering stencils.
