Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
My friend Nance came to play recently. She always brings a stack of
her new goodies to share.
One of the things she brought was a stencil and die set from Waffle Flower and
some pretty arched dies.
I went very simple with the stencil and just used one color so I could concentrate
on the visit and not the stenciling. The whimsical flower was die cut from Neenah
Solar White and I used brushes and ink to color it. The die set is 2 pieces, an outline
and the solid flower. I tried to keep the outline a bit lighter on the flower.
The sentiment was cut from a scrap of Nectar cardstock and brushed with
Grapefruit & Pimento ink for ombre look. I kept the shadow background white.
Challenges:
I.D.E.A.S. - Stencil Week
Just Us Girls - ATG using a stencil
Seize the Birthday - Dies Only
Stencil Fun - ATG using a stencil

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
Being familiar with your studio, I love imagining the two of you stenciling your hearts out together! That frame with its 'fork-crimped' edge always makes me yearn for pie... come to think of it, your colors make that a peach pie!! Always thinking with my taste buds!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card, Bonnie!

Your whimsical flower looks so cute with the matching stencil in the background, Bonnie. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute whimsical card. I love the idea that your friend came over to play. Thanks for joining in the fun at Seize the Birthday Challenge.

Your flower is so pretty Bonnie and I'm loving the arch and the stenciled background too! You and Nancy stenciling together reminds me of Michele and I getting together and stenciling...FUN times! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Bonnie. I love the stencil/die combo you used and the colours are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Us Girls challenge. Hugs, Denise x
ReplyDeleteHow fun! A great card was made and a beautiful friendship shared -- not much better than that in the studio!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Bonnie! This is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOops... forgot to thank you for playing at Just Us Girls!
DeleteWhat a fun flower. Glad you had fun in your studio and I love your stenciled background and the crimped arch frame. Great card Bonnie. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice when a friend brings in new toys to try out. I envy you living close enough to meet and create together. And the card you created is truly sweet. It's a very interesting idea to make the outline die lighter than the background die. That's a very innovative approach. Great inspiration, my dear Bonnie.

Fun flower image and sweet card, Bonnie! I know you must have had fun crafting and visiting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous flower in my favorite color-peach! Love that arched die too, it makes for a beautiful frame around the floral!
ReplyDeleteEverything plays together so perfectly on your card, Bonnie! The one color stenciling makes a nice, soft background so as not to compete with your super fun flower in the crimped arch. Love the sentiment, too. Michele said the crimping reminds her of pie, and I always think it reminds me of paper plates. I guess Michele could put her piece of pie on my paper plate, tee hee!
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie, what a joy to be able to craft with a friend - and one who brings goodies too!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beauty - love the simplicity of the design, beautifully executed
Blessings

Love the soft, suble background stenciling, such a pretty place for the flower to 'land' on!

Whimsical and wonderful. Beautiful counseling.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, love that fun little flower in its frame, the colors you used and the background. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteLove that you and Nance had a playdate recently. This is such a pretty Fall card. That stencil background is really nice as is the floral die. Thanks for taking the time to play along at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun when you can get inky with a friend. :) Lovely flower with the arched framing and beautiful stenciled background. Lovely card and a fun day with Nance ... what could be better??!! xx
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my favourite butterfly stamps, and I absolutely love all three of your blue variations. The bit of gold in the first one must be stunning in real life. The splatters are lovely on the second one. The third one definitely gets closest to the dusty blue and brown you were looking for. I need to get that stamp out after seeing your variations! But first I'm off to check out the card you linked to as I love those Anita Jeram images as much as I love that butterfly stamp.
ReplyDeleteI love the design Bonnie with the stencilled background and the beautiful flower framed by the ornate arch and perfectly finished with the die cut sentiment and the colours coordinate perfectly...a great card. x
