I have been so inspired by all the stencils being used on cards lately. I had originally considered using embossing paste on part of the sponged images, but loved how the sponging turned out and decided not to cover up any of the image. Just added a sentiment and little bow only.
The stencil was from several years ago, but my 1st time to use it :-) I only used about 1/2 of the stencil.

Oh my goodness! Your sponging of the blossoms is absolutely beautiful! The color blending is so perfect and glad you decided not to cover that up! Awesome card!

Wouldn't you know, now that stencils have become so popular I no longer have mine? I used to have so many. This is very pretty with the sponging. Nice shading of the colors.

I love the watercolor look of this card with the soft edges--yet the colors are so vibrant! This is really gorgeous and pairs nicely with the sentiment.

ABSOLUTELY stunning! The colors you chose are gorgeous AND flawlessly blended! Great call on leaving the images as they! The pretty little bow and tidy sentiment are the perfect support crew for the lovely flowers! I'm so glad that you shared your card with us at the Card Concept Challenge!
