Just Us Girls #807

Hello friends.  I have a bit of sunshine to share with you today in case you're living in an area like me that has seen nothing but snow and COLD lately.  I'm playing along with the gals over at the Just Us Girls Challenge where my friend Bobby is hosting STENCIL week...

My sweet friend Birgit gifted me a stencil/embossing folder combo for Christmas from Memory Box called Cheerful Floral and I came up with this...

I used the embossing folder first and then stenciled following the detailed instructions. (There are 5 stencils and each stencil has multiple areas to be stenciled with all the different ink colors.) I had to start over twice, but once I figured it out, it came together quite easily.

I embossed it a 2nd time carefully lining it up, and the embossing became even more pronounced...I loved it!!

 In this close up you can see the embossing even more clearly.  I added a layer of black behind my stenciled layer and then mounted both to a top folding white card base. I finished with a simple birthday sentiment (Gina K) and a few PFS Leaf Glimmer Drops.  I love all the definition the embossing gives and the bright sunny colors on this card...this will definitely brighten up someone's birthday!

The DT has some beautifully stenciled cards to inspire you, and you can find them right HERE.  This challenge is open till Wednesday, Jan. 28th @ 6:00PM.
  

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
