Sunshine Sunflower Stencil

The Ton Sunflowers Layering Stencil/Postage Party/Postage Nested Dies, Brutus Monroe Puddle Jumping Sentiment die

 

Lots of stencil playing lately...perfect time for Just Us Girls Anything Goes Stencil week and Just Add Ink~

These postage sunflower layering stencils are from The Ton!

It's a trimmed section of the large stenciled and die cut panel.

I also used a Postage Nested die for the patterned paper panel~

Thank you for your sweet visit~

DT INk Use Stencils Optional Plaid

The Ton Stamps Mass Tags dies/Rose Tags stencils, Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Plaid, Spellbinders Bouquet of Flowers bow, Avery Elle Double Stitched Rectangle die

It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!

This time the prompt is Use Stencils with the option of Plaid.

 

I had used birthday money to purchase these mass tags and rose stencils from The Ton, and had to play in several colors.

I love that the tags stay attached, so that they can stay together until I need one!

Found my plaid stencil and layered one up for this challenge!

DT INk Visual Prompt

Photo Play Rainbow Critters & Little One Patterned Paper, Newton's Nook Darling Duos Heart die

It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!

This time it's a fun Visual Prompt.

 

I came across Rainbow Critters (Photoplay) Stamps and dies in my stash and had fun playing with all the critters!

I stuck with red and mint and added some sparkly washi to jazz up the strip of black and white pattern.

The One My Soul Loves

The Greetery Boxwood Heart Base and Details die, Verve sentiment

There was a time that I remember (thirty plus years ago...ahem) when red and pink did not play well together.

It was taboo to use both because you picked one or the other.

If I'm remembering that too dramatically, then forgive me! 

ha!

But NOW they are friends (it's been ten years or so that I've seen it encouraged!!).

I love it.

I recently acquired this boxwood heart die from The Greetery, and I matched it with this well loved Verve (out of business) sentiment.

DT INkspirational XOXO Bouquet

It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!

This time the prompt is XOXO, so I'll show you the inside of my card first:

Concord & 9th Burst of Blooms & Pop Up Burst Base, The Stamp Market Say it Simply sentiment, XOXO die

I don't remember featuring the inside of a card first, but it really is the WOW of this card for my aunt who is turning 90 something this month. ;)

The front got some attention too, with a belly band from Concord & 9th's Pop Up Burst Base (what a cool detail they factored into this set! It holds the thick card closed).

I adorned the band with one of the smaller dishes from Hero Arts' Classic Casserole.

I didn't plan this...but I had to sit it up top or down below (because of the blooms sticking out in the middle).

Doesn't that little dish look like it's supposed to line up?

I'm glad that worked out! ha!

The Little Things Retro Kitchen Dishes Winter

Hero Arts Casserole Dishes, Honey Bee Stamps Inside: Thankful Sentiments, Ellen Hutson Modern Tags, My Favorite Things Water Color Wash Stencil 

 

This snowflake stamped tag has been in my bits and scraps; the casserole dishes were cut in two hues of blue.

So I stenciled a panel with a blue ink and layered it on a medium blue card panel.

Blue is one of my fave colors, so I had to participate!
