This 1st card used one of my all time favorite PFS sets (Daisy Wreath) and it was foiled with turquoise foil and then stenciled with residual ink from my pink & turquoise brushes. I die cut it with the coordinating die and then attached (with foam) it to my background that was done with PFS's Stitches coverplate die.
You can see the turquoise foil a bit better in this close up. I finished with a small butterfly (SSS), a few PFS gems & a strip sentiment that I embossed using Gina K's All At Once Greetings.
My 2nd card uses PFS's Grow Wild stencil and once again I just used residual ink from my blending brushes, using more pressure for each graduated color. It was pretty as is, but I felt like the background was too bare, so I used SSS's Feather Spiral ef over the stenciled bouquet.
I matted my stenciled layer to a piece of Turquoise Sea cs (Gina K) and then adhered both to a white card base. I added my sentiment from PB's blooming barrel stamp set and then finished with 2 pink gems.
My last card uses PFS's Reason to Smile Wreath and die and mounted it with foam tape over a Dotted Postage Square die (PFS) that I ink blended with my turquoise blender brush. The stencil set also comes with many different sentiment options and I chose the "HELLO".
I did add glitter to the sentiment and also a bit to the edges of the butterfly (same as card #1 from SSS's Flourish Butterfly Trio. I attached both layers to a 5 x 5 inch square card base and added a few Cream Puff Embellishments from SSS. I had so much fun using these 3 older (and almost forgotten!!) sets and it was a good reminder to not always be looking for new, but to use what I do already have!

Wow, three beautiful cards in this color combination. Love them all, That Daisy Wreath is my favorite (maybe because I have that set) and I need to get my PFS sets out and play with them too. Thanks for sharing all 3 of your cards. Have a wonderful week my friend.
I couldn't choose a favorite, Marcia as they are each spectacular in their own way! Beautiful use of Bonnie's wonderful colors!

I have been admiring your first card, my friend, and LOVE IT! The turquoise foiling is gorgeous with the soft shades of pink and turquoise! The brighter colors on the second card are just as pretty with a very different look! Your stenciling is always amazing! Lastly, the softer shades are again so pretty! You have outdone yourself with these colors!
You've created a trio of beautiful cards, Marcia! I think the first is my favorite!
What a fabulous set of cards, Marcia! I was wowed by the first one, then the second one, and then a third one! All gorgeous! I'm glad I don't have to choose a favorite!
Marcia, I love all three, so hard to pick a favorite, those colors just pop and are so pretty together! I am finally getting into the swing of things with posting again. It has been too long and it is so nice to visit friends again!
3 fab takes on the colours Marcia, I love the shine of the foiling on the first, the embossing on the second and the soft inking of the third. A real showcase of the colours. :)
WOW, three beauties in pink and aqua. Each is a true treat for the eyes Marcia.
Wow, Marcia! Those colors are magic in your hands and you ended up with three fabulous cards.
Your first card is gorgeous and uses my very first purchase from PFS and one I still love to this day. Love the addition of the butterfly. It looks fantastic. Then you continued to impress with two more cards. I am not sure if these were made ages ago or if you managed to squeeze in some crafting time. All in all your mojo is in full swing!
Oh my, these are all really lovely, Marcia! I love the use of the pretty colors, and the foiling sends the first card right into GorGeous!
Three beautiful cards using this pretty colour combo, Marcia. I especially love the first one with the turquoise foiling --- wow!! xx
Wow, Marcia! You went above and beyond using these colors together. Each card is so beautiful!! There's so much to be said about using what we have and not trying to keep up with all the new releases. The struggle is real, my friend. Thanks for the great reminder to appreciate the old. ;0)
It's so much fun to shop your stash, and just look at the lovelies you came up with! I've long admired the daisy wreath. It's especially pretty with the blue foiling and stitched background. All three cards are gorgeous examples of your masterful stenciling. The second card is filled with flowery beauty and I love the feather embossing. I don't recall seeing the Reason to Smile Wreath before, but it sure is pretty with its playful leaves and flowers. You did an amazing job with these colors, Marcia!
Well, you had me at wreath (especially foiled in turquoise!) and I love the stitched cover plate background. Your other two cards are just as exquisite, Marcia! Those colors worked beautifully with the PFS products on each card. Gorgeous cards, beautifully done!
Marcia you have outdone yourself. three fabulous, fabulous cards. I am partial to the first card using the PFS daisy wreath. The turquoise foil is WOW! I'm sorry tht it is so hard to photograph but I bet it is gorgeous in real life. You stencilling is so beautiful and you are so neat! Nailed it my friend!
You were sure on a roll Marcia with these three beautiful designs in the challenge colors! Love the foiling and embossings are so pretty! Julia xx
