Hello friends. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Nancy would like us to make it Clean and Simple With a Stencil. Of course we always have our Anything Goes if you are not into using stencils.
I used a Tim Holtz stencil and pale pink ink to lightly stencil the background and then stamped the image from Gina K. Designs Spring Clusters to the bottom left. I used the stencils with various inks to color in the image and then stamped Happy Birthday (from the same set) in to the top right. I mounted this panel on a black mat and then to the white card base. I don't do many clean and simple cards but kind of like the way this one turned out.
Don't forget to check out all the lovely cards by our party guests and the team at Seize the Birthday. Hope you will join in our fun challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
That little bit of soft stenciling is lovely, JoAnn! You should add this to our JUGs gallery, it's stencil week!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, I actually think you do CAS more than you think you do! Adding that pale pink doesn't detract from all that white space at all IMHO!
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely floral!

The background stenciling is really lovely. Just enough to show but not overpower. Your florals are also pretty.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, JoAnn! I am right there with you...CAS is hard for me.
ReplyDeleteI love that softly stenciled background and beautiful flowers, JoAnn! You do CAS beautifully, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI do like the way this turned out too. I also am not very good at clean and simple cards 'cause I want to add more stuff. I really like how you stuck to the clean and simple design and added the black border.
ReplyDeleteThe soft stenciling grounds your beautiful flowers and made a lovely CAS card, JoAnn.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous clean and Simple card, JoAnn. I love how the stencilling anchors the floral sprig and sentiment.
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, I love the soft stenciling that showcases those beautiful flowers. Lovely CAS card.
