I'm hosting the stencil challenge this week at Just Us Girls.
This card was hot foiled in black and stenciled with Pastel Sunrise, Canyon Clay, Lime and Limeade ink from Altenew. The background was left intact and another BetterPress sentiment was added.
Now for the cards that really made me buy the set.
The plate was hot foiled in gold and stenciled with Concord and 9th Pimento and Brickyard, and Altenew Just Green and Hunter Green. The die cut out the background. The card base was cut at an angle and the stenciled panel was cut to match with a little extra for gluing. A thin gold strip covers where they meet. This allowed me to get two cards from one panel.
The sentiments are both from PTI, some I haven't used in ages but they fit along the line perfectly.
This photo give you a better idea of the see-through bottom of the card front and the gold that was used for the strip.
I hope I have given you some ideas for using your stencils and that you make a card for our gallery. The Design Team and our guest Laurel have more inspiration for you on the Just Us Girls blog.

Bobby... you are the queen of great floral! Love all your color combos, but the last one with the bit of gold...just pops!
WOW...you have really ramped up your birthday stash with these 4 beautiful birthday cards Bobby! PFS does flowers so beautifully and your stenciling is sooo pretty! Love the cutout background too!! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Wow, 4 gorgeous cards using this set. Love the different colors and the cut outs that show the background. I really, really love the red ones. They are stunning. I agree with what you said recently, we are in the same floral boat. Most all of my cards are done with flowers. :)
Bobby, I reach for this set almost every time I visit Marcia and we're in the mood for stenciling - which is every time!
I LOve these two with the overall floral design the most but it's CLEAR to see why you'd make those see-through cards - they are spectacular!

WOW! I see why you 'needed' this set, Bobby, and it looks like you've already got your money's worth out of it! The first two cards are fantastic but the second two and extra special with all the dimension! I have a different die set on the way that will work perfectly to CASE those last two cards. Thanks for the inspiration, my friend.
FOUR gorgeous cards, Bobby! Each one is amazing on its own, precious colors, sweet sentiments, great designs. I particularly love the second one, its colors are heart-warming.
