Hi everyone. I'm so excited to be Guest Designing at Just Us Girls for the month of August. Thanks to the team inviting me and special shoutout to Vicki for providing all the details!
Prizes!! Check out the challenge blog!
I started with a new-to-me stencil, Painted Flowers Wreath (Simon Says Stamp). It has six flowers and six large leaves. :) I sponged on colour and then removed stencil and lightly sponged a soft brown ink over top of the wreath, leaving the rest of the card white. In the middle of the wreath, I stamped Sending Hugs (Impression Obsession) in black ink, heat embossed in clear. I finished with adding just a few dots of white from my Posca pen.
The inside has stenciling off the edge with more soft brown sponging overtop. Finished the card with a sentiment on the inside, Simply Sentiments (Lawn Fawn).
Inside view ...

ReplyDeleteCongratulations for being the Guest Designer for September over at Just Us Girls Loll. I cannot really believe that we are now getting into Autumn especially as the summer over here in the UK has been rather up and down. This is a gorgeous wreath design using this beautiful stencil and it is perfect for the six of anything theme. The inside looks just as wonderful as the outside too. x

ReplyDeleteOh, how pretty! Six of anything, hmmm... That could be a challenge, but you and the team have some perfect examples. This is quite a fun stencil in pretty colors and soft sponging. The white pen highlights add life to it. Love the IO sentiment. I'm kind of an IO fan.
ReplyDeleteA very happy card. You use such vibrant colors. You can say that they are recognizable to you. Beautiful card.

ReplyDeleteThis is why I'm so glad you're designing with us, Loll. Your stenciling is fantastic. What a light hand you have for adding that soft brown. I love that you decorated the inside too. I must remember to do that now and then.
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy to have you along this month! I feel as if we have a celebrity joining us! As for your card, It is just lovely both inside and out! I think the soft brown was a brilliant idea as it gave the wreath definition. Have a great day!
