A simple and fun sketch that really packs a punch, and I definitely had FUN playing with this one!! I used an older Gina K layering stencil (Spectacular Sunflower) and came up with this sweet little card...
I stenciled with yellows, oranges, and Faded Brick which is a deep and dark reddish brown color (Gina K) and cut into quarters.
I layered the 4 quarters with a piece of Faded Brick cs and then layered that to a PFS Dotted Postage Square in white and attached all to a white 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 square card base. I used the smallest Dotted Postage Square die to stamp my sentiment from the So Many Sentiments stamp set (Gina K) and then finished with a few Disco Ball Sequins (also Gina K) and some twine. Sunflowers are in full bloom in my neck of the woods right now, so it seemed appropriate to use one on my card to celebrate this milestone challenge!
The DT has wonderful cards to share with you for inspiration, so check them all out right HERE and then play along. This challenge is open till Monday, Aug. 25th @ 3:00PM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
WOWZERS, Marcia! As often as we stencil together, I'm quite sure this one is new to me and just amazing! What a fabulous design and she looks right at home on that postage square.
ReplyDeleteIt IS the "little things" but I know it was a big deal getting this done with the busy week you've had/and keep having! Thanks, so very much for joining in the FMS party, my friend!

ReplyDeleteThis little diddy is a perfect! Love the big sunflower bloom, the off-center look and the windowpane cut. Great make, Marcia!

ReplyDeleteWow, what a fabulous stencil! So fun as well as pretty. Beautiful and creative idea for the sketch. Love the warm, sunshiny colors and the postage squares. Gorgeous, Marcia!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning, Marcia. Cutting up the sunflower didn't disturb its beauty on bit and the extra layers add so much dimension to your card. I hadn't seen this when I also used a sunflower on my card.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative take on the sketch, Marcia! I LOVE the GKD stencil and grabbed it when I saw JM demo it but never used it. Love the colors you used--perfect for fall!
ReplyDeleteLovely take on the sketch Marcia. The colors of late summer and fall make this a warm and happy card. Beautiful.
