This is a large 6x6 stencil and after inking it all up in shades of lilac (Gina K) I used a 3 3/4" square die (Gina K - Master Layouts 3) to cut out the center. I matted the square with a piece of black and added foam tape to the back before adding it back to the center of the 6x6 piece.
I went a little rogue at this point and stenciled just the center of the stencils again and then used a circle die instead of a square to add my sentiment to (Penny Black - Better with Age). A few PFS gems and a sparkly white ribbon finished off my square card. Think I'll be giving this one to my mom whose 92nd birthday is coming up next month, and by hand delivering it, I won't have to pay the extra postage required of square cards!

SUCH gorgeous flowers and fabulous colors, Marcia! You inked up every nook of this beautiful birthday card, it's so special!
So pretty, Marcia! I haven't had time to play with that stencil (that Michele enabled me to get!) but will try to do so soon!
Marcia, your card is just so beautiful, both the stenciling and the design with the die cut middle and relayering with a black border. I never think to do that, it adds so much. I'm glad you went rogue on the sentiment, it looks fabulous too. I am swooning over this card!
BEAUTIFULLY done, Marcia! Wow those peonies are marvelous. Your mom is going to love this so much!
Your mom is going to love this card. And keep it!!!
Look at the flowers all over this gorgeous thing! Beautiful blues, amazing layered stenciling, and a fabulous design with the center popped up. This is absolutely lovely for your mom!
Oh my goodness, Linda, this is sensational! Any time I'm feeling down, I'm bookmarking this to come back! The colors are amazing using your NBUS stencil and I love your circle-in-the-square design! Hugs, Darnell
That is one stunning card. That stencil should be on its way to me. Ordered it last week after seeing Michele's card. Seeing yours I am doubly excited to see it.
This is such a gorgeous stencil, Marcia! I love these flowers in purple and how you added a circle to the top! What a lovely card, my friend!

Postage is exactly why I don't make square cards but this one for your Mom is gorgeous and she will love it as much as I do, Marcia.
Absolutely gorgeous!! I'm a bit behind but SOMEONE keeps distracting me
This is stunning Marcia! I love how those gorgeous peonies cover the entire card, especially how you've added dimension with the layers. Your mom will be thrilled!
