Happy FRIDAY, everyone! Woohoo, the weekend is here. I had a wee bit of time to spend in my craft room yesterday and I was excited to see that the JUGS challenge for this week is to use stencils! Since I was playing with my Layers of Beauty bundle, along with the new Painted Stripes stamp, it fit right in!
So here we go....have you ever seen a flower this color?!
The whole inspiration for the card came about because I stamped the Painted Stripes stamp on a scrap of Basic White cardstock with Coastal Cabana ink! And since it looked pretty good, I just went from there....I stamped and stenciled the single flower in Coastal Cabana, Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam and Granny Apple Green inks, then added a few of the greenery pieces around the edge. The postage stamp piece was also stenciled with a rectangular stencil I created with a die and a piece of acetate, and the background was stenciled with the retired Basic Pattern Decorative Masks:
On the inside, I added a sentiment from Year of Flowers along with another little leafy diecut. I did add a couple of white sequins on the front too!
Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed! And have a great weekend, too!

I can't say that I have, LeAnne! WAIT I did see orchids this color at the Biltmore Estates orchid house in Ashville!
I love that we can make flowers any color we like - and I do love everything about your stenciled card!
