For my technique I decided to do some background stenciling on a slimline card. I love these flowers but just didn't feel like all that coloring. Instead I added color by stenciling. It's not a lot of color but just enough to feel like the flowers have some color. I cut the stencil with my Cricut using one of the overlay pattern. The ink was sponged onto the cardstock with a random sort of pattern for the ink. 

I also used the masking technique on the flowers. I stamped the flowers on scrap paper then cut them out. Laying the mask on top of the stamped flower allows you to stamp another flower so it looks like it's partially behind the masked flower. 

Adding some touches of sparkle with glitter paper really stepped up the look! I love a card with sparkle!
