Hello Friends, How are you today? Are most of you experiencing spring in your part of the world? Nothing better right 🙂 Today I am popping in for a quick post with a double layered stencil card.
I love this doily stencil from Tim Holtz. The darker distress inks like Seedless Preserves are so rich in color and are perfect for the first layer of my card.
Now I am adding this stencil once (for my second layer) and then I will move the same stencil and ink it up again with some Worn Lipstick. Die cut the “Big Hello” a few times, glue them all together and adhere to your card. Here is another card with layered stencils in this post.
Doubling up your stencils is a fun way to make a quick card. I have two more quick cars in my next post.
I wanted to thank you all for your sweet and kind comments on my wrap up post for the 30 day color challenge. I will be answering the comments soon. Thank You all for shining light on me. Hugs, Kathy

Hi Kathy, here on Crete, we’re seeing the signs of early summer. I have just completed a large job and I will probably be spending a large part of the afternoon enjoying the sun on my terrace. Love the effect of these double layers, and I can always use ideas for quick cards (who doesn’t?). Also love the colours. I recently bought Seedless preserves, which I discovered I didn’t have yet, since it was originally part of one of the seasonal sets.

This looks so cool…I really need to use my stencils more 🙂
Hi Kathy, Happy Spring. Tough winter here. I love the double layered look, very cool. And who doesn’t love Tim Holtz’s distress inks and stencils, what a great new thing to try, Thanks !!!
very cool. and something i don’t play with enough – love stencils. And i don’t think i’ve ever tried mixing up different ones. You are always coming up with stuff!
Kathy that is SO pretty!! I hadn’t thought to do that but I think I’ll be trying it soon!!
I like the idea of using 2 stencils to create a background. I need to get my stencils out and get started. I love your card. That doily stencil makes a beautiful background. And the interest added by using the second one is really nice. Great design…TFS
Wonderful inspiration!
Very nice card Kathy. I love how you did it> Double stencilling looks like something I would enjoy! TFS!
I like the layers, I like my sentiment to stand out a little more. I think the hello done solid in one of the colors would be more to my taste. Interesting though! Thanks for sharing!
Kathy, what you did with the two stencils is GREAT! I love how the stripes stencil make your card have texture! When first I looked, I thought you had crimped this! It looks FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉
LOVE the double stenciling!! Must get my stencils out and give it a go! I will be posting pictures of a big project that I have been working on for a swap I am doing soon. Would love to get your opinion on it.
Spring has FINALLY showed her beautiful face here in my neck of the woods! It seems so nice to be able to open windows and doors and let the stale winter air go out! Talk to you soon!
Hi Kathy, thanks for sharing the double stencil technique and your beautiful card! Spring is finally showing its sign here, I see my tulips(the leaves) poking out from the earth!! 🙂
Those colors work so well together. I wouldn’t have thought to combine two stencils like this, what a fabulous idea.
Such a sweet card. What a nice idea on doubling up the stencils. Lovely look.
Just lovely Kathy,thanks for sharing your talent with us all! x
Oh what a gorgeous card! Love that double stencil! 🙂
Lots of green already in our area and a welcome weekend rain will push things along even more! Beautiful card–love your use of the stencil! I have several and forget to use them so thanks for a reminder.
