Love, Kisses & Birthday Wishes

Hi everyone.  I had fun making the above card ...

I used the Painted Flowers Wreath stencil (Simon Says Stamp), masking and sponging two colours of Distress Inks (Shabby Shutters, Picked Raspberry).  To finish, I stamped a sentiment (Good Wishes - Penny Black) in Lost Shadow distress ink

A fun and quick card to make. :)

Close-up ...
I LOVE the vibrancy of the beautiful flowers in the top left photo and pink is my favourite colour. :)

I'm also sending this card to Stencil Fun June Challenge - Optional:  Layered Stencils.  Happy to be playing along.  Didn't use the Optional this time. :)

Love your beautifully stenciled flowers and how you added a very soft grey stamped sentiment that did not take away from the gorgeous wreath:-) TFS Lolly. Love and Hugs..Nancy

The soft grey ink of your sentiment works perfectly with the softly stencilled floral wreath Loll. :)

Linda said...

This is so pretty, what a fabulous stencil, and gorgeous colours too! I love the sentiment in the soft grey colour .... very stylish.
Hope you're doing OK. I've just realised that I haven't said thank you for my beautiful birthday card. Lauren brought it up to Scotland with her whilst we were away so it was a lovely surprise.
Love and hugs my friend xx

Wonderful fading out at the edges, perfect for that soft gray sentiment.

I totally forgot about this challenge, Loll. I went to check it out and saw that you got an honorable mention for the last challenge. Congrats! This card is lovely in its simplicity. I've bookmarked the challenge and will get busy making a card for the current one.

You have achieved such a lovely soft look with that stencil and, as always, you have used the most lovely colours xx

Nstiz said...

This one does look fun to do. What I find so fascinating about it is the way you faded out the stenciling on the edges of the flowers. It's such a dreamy effect. Love the light gray ink too- one I must invest in.

Christine Alexander said...

Such pretty colors, Lolly! You inspire me to get my stencils out with your awesome design!

Pat said...

Some beautiful stencilling Loll, and I love the way you have faded the edges to give a quite dreamy quality, carried through with that soft grey for the sentiment..a pretty card! x
