One thing I like about layering stencils in layering ink colours in the process too. It can create beautiful looks, and at times create new fun colours. Here, I overlaid Dress Blue with Uptown intensify the colour and giving a slight teal hue to the navy colour. What’s more I didn’t use all the layering stencils in this set, so you can easily play around and get many different looks.

Layering ink colours
Start off by laying the biggest diamond layer from the PinkFresh Studio Slimline Diamond builder layering stencil. With blending brush, add Uptown ink through the layer. Next, positioned the middle sized diamond stencil over the top and blend Dress Blue ink through the stencil.

I’ve skipped the smallest diamond layer in this stencil set and ink blended Glam ink through the lined diamond layer. This shows that you do not need all layers to use the stencils and can create many different looks.

Assembling the card
As I made a slip-up when ink blending and my stencil moved, I used the Mini Slimline Essential die set to trim this down and added this to a mini slimline card base measuring at 3″x6. In addition, I also die-cut a circle out using the same set as these have some hatching designs around the edge.

For the sentiment, stamp a sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp in Black Jack in and use the coordinating die to cut this out. Add this onto of the circle and lastly, embellish with a few white drops from Julie Hickey Designs Stormy Skies Glossies.
