Double Pop-Up Card - Cosmos Bunch

This is the same type of card as I posted yesterday (a Double Pop-Up Card) - here is the link to the tutorial. 

The first card in this style was made by stamping the images and colouring them which was very time consuming. I thought I would try a different method and stamp and then stencil the images instead. I had to mask some of the images to fill in the spaces. I used the coordinating layering stencils to colour the images. That ended up taking much MORE time than just colouring the images but I like the softer effect. 

I created all the panels first - I used the same stencil on each panel before moving onto the next stencil. Each panel was outlined with a black marker to add more definition. Once those were finished, the base of the card was cut and scored. The sentiments were stamped in black and the panels were adhered to the base cardstock. The last step was to decorate the front with some gems. I really like how this turned out - it has a much softer appearance than the first card. 

I am entering this card in the Pinkfresh Studio January challenge which is open for any of last year's challenge topics. This card is for the flower challenge.
