A happy accident....

I recently got Altenew's Cube Builder stencil.  It is quite ingenious... you stencil one way then turn the stencil over and use a slightly different shade to make it look like a cube.   I decided to use the stencil with two Altenew ink colours - Rose Quartz and Puffy Heart and used a Nuvo Brush to colour.  I did the lighter colour first and then turned the stencil over and used the darker one next.  It made a lovely background.  As there was still ink on my stencil I decided to spritz some water onto the stencil and laid it onto some card.    I wanted to make sure I got a good impression and rubbed my finger over the stencil.... and as I hadn't cleaned the stencil.... the colour went onto the card... once I removed the stencil- my happy accident!

I trimmed the stenciled piece and here's what I came up with

I stamped the Painted Flowers in Puffy Heart and Purple Wine for the flowers and Volcano Lake for the leaves.  The sentiment from Fresh Freesia set is stamped in Purple Wine ink.  A few little enamel dots to finish off. 

I started this Friday afternoon before heading up to Mangawhai for a weekend away and finished it off tonight when we got home.   

I've added this to the July challenge at Altenew. 

Thanks for stopping by.
