Using one of the newest dies - another, batch of fantastic calligraphed die cut words by signature designer Suzanne Cannon available on Elizabeth Craft Designs A Way With Words "Beautiful" and one from a previous release YOU from "Thank You" both also available on Quietfire Design HERE and HERE
Scored, and folded my white card (5"w x 7"h).
Cut a bunch of the "Beautiful" word, sprayed the back with removable adhesive (Krylon "Easy Tack") and used it as a mask, sponging and direct to paper with Various Distress pads - "Spun Sugar" all over; sponging more heavily with the sugar around the word. Moving the mask down and sponging with "Mustard Seed" blending slightly into the pink above.
Used my hard rubber mallet to selectively emboss around the card front using Elizabeth Craft Design folder "Bouquet". Sponged around the edges with "Picked Raspberry".Shadow detailed the words with an HB pencil.
Die cut another "Beautiful" and "You" from purple cardstock. Applied Glossy Accents and set aside to dry. Adhered to front.
Adhered some "Curvy Leaves" (Elizabeth Craft Designs), die cut from Brusho colored watercolor paper sprinkled with Gold powder.
Created the flower from punched circles and Mulberry paper. Edged the circles with a "Vintage Photo" pad. Tooled the circles and then adhered to create the flower. Added PVA glue and the beads in the center. Adhered to front.
Used a corner rounder punch for the card edges.
My turn on the Quietfire Creations blog and I thought I'd
play with a stencil and alcohol inks... There are several variations
using the same stencil, so take a peek...
I'm using an A Way With Words die from Elizabeth Craft Designs "Thank You", also available on Quietfire Design HERE
I'm using a quote stamp from Quietfire Design ("Give Thanks" 2pce set);
Scored, and folded my cream toned cardstock to create the easel. Cut a pumpkin colored cardstock same size as card and adhered to front.
Created my alcohol stenciled background using glossy paper I mentioned getting a while back. Taped it to my work surface, then taped the stencil (Pronto "Leaves) down. Dropped various colors of alcohol inks (all the yellows and oranges, some Limeade, Pesto and Espresso). There was a lot of wetness and of course it seeped under the stencil - sigh!!, so I removed the stencil and set it aside to dry.
Now the stencil had a ton of dried ink on it, so not to waste it I continued playing. See below for the various results.
After playing with the other variations, I came back to the original one. I taped the glossy paper down, matched up the stencil, and adhered one end firmly to my work surface. Applied lots of blending solution to my felt and pounced on part of my stencil, then immediately pressed it down on my glossy paper giving the bubbly effect between the solid leaves. Continued applying the blending solution on different areas of the stencil and pressing down on the paper till the whole negative areas were bubbled...
Trimmed it down, adhered to a sage green cardstock, then onto my card front. Adhered a burgundy narrow ribbon and bow, adding an amethyst cabochon to the bow center.
Die cut the "Thank You" from a cream toned cardstock and a dark colored cardstock. Applied Versamark to the dark one and embossed with Emerald Creek "Oil Rubbed Bronze" embossing powder, then adhered both layers together slightly off set, then on to the card front. 
On the Floor: Used the same stencil and Distress inks, sponged various colors of yellows, oranges, greens and brown. Dried thoroughly.
Stamped the quote using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed.
Adhered the 3 buttons to act as my stopper using a glue gun.
THE VARIATIONS: (Click on images to enlarge)
I applied a generous amount of blending solution to my felt, then swiped it over the glossy paper all over leaving a nice wetness on the paper. IMMEDIATELY flipped it over on to my dirty stencil and pressed down, burnishing the wetness into the stencil to release the dried ink.
I started this one the same as above, then pounced with the wet felt, which released the dried up ink from the stencil.
Note: my stencil had ink on both sides, so the 1st step was the result on one side of the stencil and the 2nd step was the other side of the stencil. 
For this one I just used a clean wet felt and and in a cleaning/sweeping kind of motion moved the dried ink off the stencil and onto my glossy paper.
Yogi here today with an easy and simple card.
One of my DT sisters pointed me to a neat technique using Glad "Press 'n Seal" Freezer sealable wrap to help adhere bunches of small die cuts...
In this case I placed my text block letters onto my card, pressed down a piece of the Press'n Seal, lifted it up and all my letters were temporarily stuck to the freezer wrap. Applied glue to the letters and then pressed it back down on my card front, adjusting any letter that moved a bit. Voila, Easy Peasy BIG GRIN (on YouTube by llwillison)
Side folded my blue textured card (5"w x 7"h).
I had a bunch of Color Burst decorated papers sprinkled with Schminke gold powder and Coarse Kosher Salt technique on 90# watercolor paper, so die cut a bunch of letters to create my text block ("Alphabet Caps").
I adhered my text block as described above to some white cardstock, trimmed down. Sponged some Distress "Fossilized Amber" around the edges and under my "Love You" words.
Die cut the word "Love" and the word "You" from some scrapbook cardstock and intertwined the 2 words together. I didn't like the scrapbook paper with my text block... so applied Versamark all over and embossed with Hot Stuff "Turquoise Shimmer" embossing powder. Cut another of the 2 words from a teal cardstock and adhered the 2 together as a shadow layer, then onto my card front piece. Adhered the white layer to a teal textured cardstock and used a layering ruler to cut a 1/8" border all around. Adhered to my blue card.
Added a blue Sari bow and attached a gold heart charm with some light blue twine using a hot glue tool.
On the inside: Stamped the quote using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed.
Stamped the bird image (Penny Black "The Sweetest Sound") using Distress mini pads to color, misted with water and stamped, then clear embossed.
