Hello friends and happy Thursday. We have a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Shirley would like us to add stenciling to our Birthday project. Of course, the only requirement is that it has to be for a birthday.
For my card I used SU Layers of Beauty Stamps, Dies and Stencils for these pretty flowers. Using the stencils I added Flirty Flamingo ink to the roses and Daffodil Delight to the small daisies. For the leaves I used Soft Succulent ink (ret.). I then snipped parts of the large image and arranged it how I wanted it, then placed Press and Seal over it to keep it together. I used an older stencil to lightly add Smokey Slate ink in the background. I added foam tape to the image and then pressed it down on the upper half of my card base, removed the Press and Seal and it was perfect. The sentiment is also from a retired SU set, but I love the font in it, so I stamped it in black on the bottom part of the card to finish it off.
Be sure to check out all the inspiration by the team over at Seize the Birthday and I hope to see you in our gallery.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
Very pretty as usual! Lovely card
ReplyDeleteI don't know how it was originally arranged, JoAnn, but your version is perfect and looks lovely in the pinks over the soft gray background.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to cut apart the flowers so that you could make your own arrangement. The pink flowers with the soft gray stencil background are gorgeous and you have made another spectacular card.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty floral stamp and you have added the color beautifully. One of my many favs of yours for sure. Wonderful card!
ReplyDeleteSo soft and lovely! Wonderful card, JoAnn!
ReplyDeleteI know I've said it before, JoAnn, but you really do have a way with pinks! This is so lovely!

This is beautiful, Jo Ann, such a great birthday card. The florals are stenciled beautifully and I love the way they are arranged. I often admire your work but need to stop in to say it more often!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, this is so beautiful! You really put those stencils to work for you. I love the pretty flowers, which are especially delicate and feminine in pink!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers, JoAnn! I love the colors and layering of ink on these flowers! The light gray stenciled background shows them off beautifully!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, beautiful flowers on that lightly stenciled background to give it grounding. Lovely card. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, JoAnn! I love the soft grey stencilled background, and the flowers are beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteI think you chose the perfect hues of your colors to go with the softly stenciled background. Another gorgeous floral!
ReplyDeleteThe soft stencilling really sets these pretty flowers off JoAnn, a beautiful card, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colour combo and I love your subtle stencilling in behind. Beautiful card JoAnn!
