AECP Level 3: Stencils Unleashed

Today, I'm sharing a card I made for the Altenew AECP class, Stencils Unleashed. I ink blended over these stencils to give me a starting point, but then used watercolour pencils and a water brush to get a new look.

One more card using things from my UFO pile for Donna Lewis' Finished In Feb challenge! This was a very quick card to make - the yupo panel with a rainbow of alcohol inks was already in my UFO pile, as was the die cut heart. The sentiment is a foiled and die cut sentiment that I have pre-made (I have heaps of them in ziploc bags!), so all I needed to do was adhere these to a card base and add some embellishments! Easy peasy!
