Are you a fan of making little gift boxes and bags? I definitely am. I designed this box for my card club that I host in Lincoln each month. If you want to join the next one click here for all the information.

This matchbox has a little pull cord for easy opening. The two sides are also reinforced for extra sturdiness. The designer series paper (DSP) is Merry, Bold and Bright. It has modern patterns with vibrant colours.

I love stamping my own patterned paper. This background is definitely festive, bright and bold. The Modern Garden stamp set has a choice of various florals. It’s also a two step stamping set. I’ve just used one floral and repeat stamped.

The foliage brings this card together. I do want to mention how I did the flower centres. I used a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write marker to colour the centres and added interest with some dots using the Crushed Curry marker.

Make a Gorgeous Festive Flower Card – How to Stencil a Background.

I love how this card turned out. The flowers are so bright and pretty. I wanted my card to be a festive one so I limited my colour palette to the reds, greens and yellows. I was thinking of poinsettias. The flower is meant to be a sunflower I think. I have used it this way in a previous card. However, depending on how you colour it, it can be whatever you want it to be.

The Abundant Beauty stencil is a layering stencil but I did extra shading with both my blending brushes and sponge daubers. There are only 3 leaves on the stencil. I kept moving the stencil around to add more leaves and fill in the gaps in the design.
