Stampin’ Up! Helping Me Grow for the Totally Techniques Blog Hop

I used the Stampin’ Up! Helping Me Grow stamp set to create my card for the monthly Totally Techniques blog hop.  This month we’re focusing on stenciling.

Here is my card:

The flowers on my project were inspired by Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #49.

I started by adhering strips of Post-It Note Tape along the edges of a Thick Whisper White card base.  I lined the edges of the tape up with the edge of the card front, leaving a rectangle in the center open for stenciling.

I used my Clarity Stencil Brushes and I stenciled Flirty Flamingo (available June 1), Peekaboo Peach (available June 1) and Daffodil Delight inks over the rectangle opening.

I stamped the flower image from the Helping Me Grow photopolymer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink over the stenciled area, then carefully removed the Post-It Note Tape.  I stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink under the stenciled image and added a single Rhinestone Basic Jewel to finish the card front.

I inked the flower image from the Helping Me Grow stamp set in Flirty Flamingo ink, stamped it on scrap paper once, then stamped it on a panel of Whisper White card stock inside the card.

You can find a complete list of supplies, including card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this post.
