Color Hues #82

Hey there.  I'm glad you dropped by.

I resisted making my usual floral cards when seeing the colors at Color Hues, but the only other idea I had was so similar to several other cards I have made I didn't want to go there either.  So floral it is.

These Angels Bells from Alex Syberia were designed as a Christmas set but I think they are good for any occasion - like a birthday with this sentiment from SSS.  They were stenciled using Distress Inks.

Do you ever use Christmas images for other occasions?

Jingle Belles Pink Christmas 2023 and NBUS #55

I've never played at Jingle Belles before but after hearing about it on Bonnie's blog I had to check it out. It's a Christmas card challenge and I'm all for those so I can be ahead of the game when it's time to send them out.  It's Pink October in honor of breast cancer awareness and the girls donate $2 for every card in their gallery.  Here's mine.

I fell in love with several stamp sets from Alex Syberia and had to order these Angels Bells.  The set includes a stencil and die which I didn't use.  The colors are Distress Inks in Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint.  The sentiment is also from the set and there are dies for the sentiments too but I kept this an almost one layer card by stamping directly on the panel.  I have two more ready to stencil in other colors. 

This is the first time use of this set so I'm sending my card to NBUS. 

Thanks for dropping by.
