I have been having fun with a stencil and Lindy Powders.....
This is my card.....
I sprinkled Lindy magicals over the stencil and lightly sprayed with water,
popping off the stencil quickly to avoid seepage....
When it was dry I popped the stencil back on and blended the stems in green ink.
I tried several times to use the powders for the stems but the seepage was horrendous!
I finished off with die cutting the sentiment, the squares and the flower bud.
AAA Card challenge and Uniko are friendship which helped me choose the sentiment.
Thank you for stopping by.
Challenges I would love to enter.....
Uniko - It's so much more friendly with two and I have gone with the 'Friend' theme ...

This is beautiful, my friend, and how nice to be parked beside you at AAA! Love the white die cuts and the artsy way you've arranged them!
You've done such a gorgeous job with these flowers! I love the watercolor feel to them and your layout design turned out just as beautiful too! Always love seeing your artistic style my friend! Thanks for sharing! HUGS
Gorgeous card, I love the design. The flowers are beautiful. xx
Gorgeous Mac, I love the framing of your bud. such a beautiful layout and colours :)
Beautiful Mac, I always have trouble with stencils, powders and water with the seepage, may have to try your way of quickly removing it. My LIndy's are already diluted so will see how they do...hugs.x
In response to your question, the card I made had the flowers printed directly onto my card stock due to the typewriting outside the flower, but as a rule I always fussy cut. xx
So creative & beautiful, Mac!
This really is a beautiful piece, showcasing that fabulous technique. You are a master at these CAS cards!!
Thanks so much for sharing, wishing you a wonderful weekend Tracey xx
P.S Thanks for the reminder about the Lindy powders, I have two tubs of these somewhere :))
This looks wonderful - I haven't had any success with very wet mediums and stencils, so I admire the technique.
This is a beautiful design Mac! Gorgeous and sparkly flower (I LOVE pink!).
Great idea to sponge the thin stems and leaves. Love the framing around the flower and the placement of your die-cut sentiment. Very creative! xx
Oh Mac, what a wonderful card - love that you framed the one flower with the squares - that is an incredible detail!
Blessings

Beautiful, Mac ... the softness is gorgeous ... love how you've highlighted the one bud with the double framing! Hugs, Anita :)
Very pretty! I like the geometric touch with the added die cut. It adds some extra style to your soft and pretty flowers.
A gorgeous card. I love the colors and those frames really look great. I like how you added the You in black so it stands out.
Absolutely gorgeous Max, I love the blooms and how you've framed one of them, such pretty colours too, Kate x
You have a great artistic eye for design and color, Mac. This is really beautiful. My stencils and powders turn out to be blobs!
Wow, what a beautiful card Mac! Love the green and pink color combo and love how you placed the squares around one of the flowers-really highlights the blooms. Hugs, Brenda

You are a genies at coming up with 'out of the ordinary' ideas M. This latest creation screams just that. Love the subtle result you got on this amazing card. The simplicity and the layout are fabulous. Beeeeeeautiful!
So soft and beautiful! Pretty colours... great job not mixing them to brown. Love the cool design with the square die cut framing! xx
What a terrific and eyecatching design! Beautiful stencilled flowers and altogether another stunner Mac! Hope you have a beautiful weekend!
I love how you used the die cuts as an accent to the stencilling. Beautiful colours.
I love this card, Mac! It's so soft and pretty with a hint of punch! The Magicals color is amazing and all the design elements are fantastic - frames of the flower, the bud die-cut, the big black "you" sentiment at the bottom, and the layered vertical die-cut sentiment! Hideko xx
I've never seen a square spotlight - you are so very clever Mac! Your stenciled flowers are beautiful in their lovely watery color!
Oh how lovely! Sweet peas are one of my favourite flowers and your pink no outline blooms are gorgeous. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards and Uniko.
A lovely serene card Mac. I do like the soft edges you've achieved - it gives the flowers a wonderful effect and the framing of the 1 bloom is a great touch x
WOW...this is one GORGEOUS card Mac!! I never even thought of using Magicals through a stencil, but now you've got me intrigued and I think I need to try it! LOVE how you used the die cuts over your flower and the black and white sentiment die cuts too! Truly a Magical card Mac!! :0)
Love your gorgeous card!!!!
The use of powders causes that the color has different intensity and it is not possible to repeat the effect on the second card. That's why this card is so unique. I love bright colors, they are so fresh and vibrant. I also love the cut flower bud placed in the frame. Wow, such a beautiful effect

WOW! This is so inspiring Mac! I've never seen anything quite like it! It's so creative! I love the softness of those beautiful water-coloured flowers and the way you have highlighted them in that artistic way with those die cuts! Fabulous job my friend! Have a wonderful upcoming weekend! Hazel xx
