more stencilling!

Following the stencilling we did at class on Saturday I thought I would show you another stencilled card! It really didnt take very long to do and the brilliant thing about stencilling is they make very cheap, lightweight and uber flat cards - ideal for the post! 

Thank You Floral Flourish

Stamp Set: Vintage Vogue, Because I Care (Hostess Only)

Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Early Espresso

Cardstock: Certainly Celery, Early Espresso

Punches: 1 3/4" Circle, Scallop Edge, Corner Rounder

Extras: Copy Paper, Sponge

I punched out the circle and lined up the copy paper with the cardstock and sponged in so I had the circle shape. Before I removed the mask I stamped on the floral flourish from Vintage Vogue, the stamp was wider than the circle so by leaving the mask on it masked off the edges too leaving a nice clean and simple decorative circle. I then added the sentiment below and as I hadn't quite got my circle positioned in the centre I added some scallop edging to balance up the card. Finally I rounded the top left corner to mimic the curves in the circle and scallop edge! 

I hope you enjyed this really quick card - its a great card to whip up a few to have on hand as thank you's or even birthdays for those last minute in a rush cards! Thanks for visiting, please do leave a comment. I'd love to know what you think

Come back tomorrow for another creation.

Hugs,

give it some shimmer!

I've had several commission cards of late, this is just the first. I had 3 for people that were leaving a Christian women's organisation and the others in the group wanted some nice "goodbye" cards for them. The other stipulation was that they wanted them to reflect the reason why they were leaving. 

The first, today's, was for a lady leaving due to a new job and generally being extremely busy! 

  

Best Wishes Hydrangea

Stamp Set: Because I Care (Hostess Only), Silhouette Sentiments (Hostess Only)

Ink: Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Basic Black

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette, Old Olive

Accessories: Shimmer Mist (Shimmer Paint and Rubbing Alcohol)

Extras: Blender Pen, Dimensionals

A very simple card. I coloured in the hydrangea with a blender pen, stamped Best Wishes and layered onto some coloured cardstock. Finally to make it look that extra bit special, I gave the card a spritz with my homemade shimmer mist! So pretty! 

Hope you enjoyed this simple card today! 

Hugs,
