Stenciled background card ideas

Hi everyone! I am playing around with stencils for an online stencil class I am taking and here are a couple cards I've made with the backgrounds.

First up is a simple stenciled background using the Twinkle stencil by Spellbinders. I used 3 colors and when they over lap each other you end up with 5 colors. I used a pink, blue and green -I blended the pink at the top, blue in the center and green along the bottom. When they mix with each other there is a gorgeous purple and teal color that appears.

The daisies and butterfly is from the new Stampendous Hello Butterfly stamp set which is part of the spring 2023 collection. I colored them with copic markers and fussy cut. I didn't want to cover too much of the background, so I added slim profile sentiments from the Wonderful Script Sentiment die set.

Next up is a pretty background make with the Gina K Designs stencil called Snowflake Mandala. Once again I used 3 colors of ink -teal, yellow and pink. After I stenciled the colors, I used a thin layer of gel medium mixed with Sparkle Dust glitter. The gel is almost clear, so the ink shows through only slightly muted. The result is so pretty!
