Hello friends. Just a friendly reminder that there's still time to play along with our challenge to add a
CIRCLE to your flower card. Don't forget that this is a celebration challenge also and many of the DT are offering up a prize to anyone who enters the challenge.
I have another stenciled card to share with you today, and this one uses Altenew's
Flower Bunch Stencil. Take a look...
I kept my colors very light with the pale yellows and light plums and went a bit more bold with the leaves. After I finished with my stenciling I did the hard part and used a circle die to cut out the image (SU!'s
Spotlight on Nature Die). I always kinda cringe at this part as there's no turning back after you've made the cut to an already colored up image! Luckily it turned out just like I imagined it would look!! I placed a layer of Barely Banana cs (SU! - retired) underneath the front panel and attached both to a top folding white card base.
I finished with a bold sentiment from Waffleflower's
Paper Hugs Sentiments (cut 3 times for dimension) and also added some
Lemon Drop Pearls from Trinity Stamps.
Don't forget that this is a celebration for our 100th challenge and that many of us are offering prizes (Mine is for U.S. participants only because of shipping costs) for those that participate in the challenge. Here is what I'm offering up...
So check out all the inspiration from the DT (and special prizes!) and then play along with us. You can check it all out right
HERE. This challenge is open till
Tuesday, March 25th @ 5:00PM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

This is GORGEOUS, Marcia. Your color choices are fantastic, right down to the barely banana matte. I love your simple design starring this beautiful floral scene.
Oh this is so STUNNING! Wow, your flower is amazing, and I'm SO glad you didn't leave any of it off with your beautiful cut!
Geez, Marcia, I don't know if it's a special skill you have, your choice of colors, your clever hand with the stencil brushes, but you do the most beautiful stenciled pieces! This is simply jaw dropping!
The soft yellow you achieved is marvelous, Marcia. The entire bouquet is gorgeous and the cut circle didn't damage them at all.
I'm joining the chorus, Marcia, your stenciling is absolutely beautiful divine! That light yellow flower is swoon material and I like the bolder leaves. I too have this stencil set and you've reminded me it might be time to dust if off! Gorgeous card, my friend!
These flowers are gorgeous, Marcia! I LOVE the colors you chose and even though it was scary, cutting the image into that pretty circle and letting the pale yellow show through was a brilliant idea! Bravo, my friend!
This is absolutely stunning Marcia! I agree with everyone, that the colors you chose are beautiful together. The soft, pale yellow is perfectly paired with the purple tones. The cut circle from the image is such a pretty detail too. You are brave and brilliant!
