The Paper Players #788

Joanne made a fun Tic Tac Toe board for us over at The Paper Players.  I picked the right column down - die cut, stenciling and layers. 

The stenciling is on the Hello Beautiful flowers from Altenew then die cut and layered.  There are more layers with The Color Block Accent Arches from the Spellbinders Just Add Cake kit.  It happens that Waffle Flower Nested Domes are the same size as the arches so that was cut in black and the accent cut in white.  The sentiment is from The Ton.

Time Out #308- Happy 12th Birthday!

That's right.  Time Out is 12 years old.  You can read about its start on the blog.  For this challenge we welcome Stef Perry as our muse and she has created a card for all of us to CASE. 

Here's a closer look.

Stef does a beautiful job of coloring flowers and while she used alcohol markers for hers, I went with a different medium.

It all started with gold embossing Hello Beautiful from Altenew and then using the stencils to color the flowers. The background panel was trimmed down and embossed with the Time Worn Type folder by SU.  Before adding it to a C9 Nutmeg card base, a few gold splatters were added.  The sentiment is from BetterPress foiled in gold. 

We hope you will CASE Stef's card for the challenge  Please be sure to tell us how you were inspired.

Just Us Girls #781 - Stencil Week

I'm your host for stencil week at Just Us Girls and I can't wait to see what wonderful cards you make with all the stencils available to you out there.

I need to say a big Thank You to Joanne James for being our guest designer this month.  Her wonderfully creative cards have been an inspiration to the team and our followers.  

My card started with one of the sprigs from the Hello Beautiful set from Altenew, colored with Victorian Velvet, Aged Mahogany, Evergreen Bough and Pine Needles Distress Ink.  Then it was time to decide how to display them.  I love the detail on the SB 4 Petal Frame Pierced Plate and cut it from white and layered the middle section over a Slate Gray 4 Petal die cut.  

Stencil Week is one of our most popular challenges so I hope your card will be included in our gallery.  

ETA:  I had every intention of adding my card to the Inkspirational Challenge and then forgot to do it until nudged by my teammate Carol M.
