Hi friends! Today I’m sharing a simple card design created with ink blending and stencils, featuring bright, cheerful spring colors. This is one of my favorite ways to create an eye-catching background, and it’s a great technique when you want something bold without a lot of complicated steps.

To step up the design, I added a few subtle details that really make a difference in the finished look. I also turned this card into a Mother’s Day card, but this design could easily be customized for many different occasions just by changing the sentiment.
