Today the video was done by Lydia Fiedler and it was about using stencils to create vintage-looking images.  This was fortuitous as I had just picked up a new rose stencil from Altenew.  I have to say that I am not too much of a fan of vintage, but I was eager to try out the new stencil, so I gave it a go.

I appreciate the advice to use a soft brown as the base of the ink blending to provide an instant vintage look.  It worked very well to do this and I love the resulting card.  In fact, I have decided to give this one to my Mom today for Mother’s Day instead of one that I had ready to go, so I guess I really like it.
