PTI's Make It Monday #316 with Lizzie Jones - Stenciled Edges

Stenciled Edges by Lizzie Jones.. 

 Learn how to use stenciling along your card’s edges to draw the eye toward your focal point, then create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and include stenciled edges.

Below is my take on Lizzie's Challenge. 

 I used the Wood Block Print Stencils blending White Snow around the edges on Kraft paper.  The center was die cut using two of Betsy's Mix & Mat: Scallops dies.  My goal was to create a romantic lacy card that could be used as a wedding card. I chose Betsy's Stitched Garden set to create the rose focal point and off set it in the upper corner. I popped the flower up with foam tape and applied a few clear drops to give the elusion of dewdrops on the flowers.  I also popped the Kraft piece up from the Smokey Shadow backing giving a bit more depth to the card.  Finally, I selected the die cut "Congratulations" from Heather's Ways to Say: Congratulations set as my sentiment.
