Evening Primrose Card With Stenciled Background With Impression Obsession April Release Stamps

 

As you may know, the Impression Obsession April 2021 Release Celebration took place the past two days.  If you have not seen the amazing stamps, be sure to check them out.  You can find them HERE.  Today I have another card using the gorgeous Evening Primrose image.  I love the way this stamps, and it's so easy to color and very versatile.

Evening Primrose L20926

Be Still C13180

Stencil:  Brick Wall stencil from A Colorful Life Designs

 

How I made my card:

• On recycled bristol card stock, I stamped the Evening Primrose with VersaFine Claire Nocturne ink.  
• I used a very light wash of watercolor to the petals and leaves, and let that dry.
• I used Polychromos colored pencils to add shape and definition, shading and highlights to the image.
• For the background, I used the Brick Wall stencil with distress ink, brushing it on so that it fades out in areas.
• Finally, I added the Be Still verse.
• I layered the panel onto a white card front.
• INSIDE:  I used the same Brick Wall stencil to create a subtle background.  I stamped the Evening Primrose on a scrap piece of card stock, and fussy-cut some the flower blossoms.  I used distress ink with blending brushes to add color to these blossoms.
