Wild Blossoms for Seize the Birthday

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I am happy and honored to be a Surprise Party Guest at 
Seize the Birthday!

I have two cards to bring to the party.


First of all, the challenge, brought to us by the very talented Nanc'

  


I've used a new to me stencil from Papertrey Ink.

I'll confess the first card I did with it was not quite CAS.  It turned out to
be my favorite.  I'll share that at the end of this post.

I used Distress inks and blending brushes to stencil the designs.

After I had the stenciling done, I cut the design and used the Subtle embossing
folder on the part I intended to use.  Then I had trouble figuring out how to
lay it out and keep it CAS.  

The Peek-a-boo Frame rescued that dilemma.

There was a flower left over so I got another CAS card.


Finally the not CAS card...


Now it's your turn.  

Be sure to go see what the wonderful Design Team and Johanna have done.
You're sure to be inspired.  Then join us with a birthday card.  You can use this option
or any birthday card will do.

Bonnie, first I must tell you that this set is one of my favorites that I borrow from Marcia nearly every time we gather! I love your ink choices and the little white dots you've added to the finished images are soooo cute! LOve the peek-a-boo, the lovely brown backer on card two, and OH your first time out/original is really stunning!
Congrats on being their Surprise Party Guest!

Glad to have you as our Surprise Party Guest Bonnie. Your three cards are beautiful. Love the colors you used to stencil these pretty flowers and the way you framed the first and second cards. I agree with Michele, the third one is stunning. Thanks for sharing with us.

I have that stencil and need to get it out again after seeing your cards, Bonnie. I love that you got a two-fer from one inked panel and the colors of the flowers are lovely.

Oh, wowie, what a fabulous display of beauty here! As each card scrolled up I was more and more smitten, all the way through to the amazing #3! I love the CAS cards just as much. The butterfly on each is a sweet accent, and the Burlap EF is on my wish list. Just waiting for some other things to be back in stock. Congratulations on your Surprise Party Guest spot!
