When I had the Stencils 360 tool out I created this background using two of the stencils that are from the Penguin Palace Fancy Gift Box stencil set. I used one of the large 6" stencils to make the blue green background by first stenciling the blue using the solid triangle which is 45 degrees. Then I used the open triangle and stenciled the green.. I popped out the stencil and changed to the 4" guide ring and stenciled the rainbow bow in the centre. This made it a one layer card.
Perfect for mailing!
I finished it off with a sentiment from Waffle Flower Crafts Essential Sentiments.
This weeks colour duo was chosen by Design Team Member Lindsey Martin-Penny. Lindsey sadly lost her battle against stage 4 ovarian cancer. She wasn't just a blogging friend she was a real life friend too, we lived only 45 minutes apart, and she leaves a huge hole in my heart and all of the team at both the Color Hues and Seize the Birthday. We have decided this challenge to celebrate Lindsey and the colours she chose by making cards themed to things that she loved. We are also doing this challenge with our crafty sisters at Seize the Birthday.
Friendships were very important to Lindsey and she was always quick to send a card for encouragement or simply just to say hello! I made a card in this challenge's colours using the Concord & 9th Brighter Days stamp set and dies. It is so fun to create custom rainbows in any colour you like. I used Catherine Pooler Inks because they fill in so beautifully!
The panel was popped up with foam tape and the cloud and centre heart are as well.
Great colours and design to send to a friend who could use some cheering up.
Back on the 1st of July, we had the Canada Day Video Hop which was another success this year. I ended up making a bunch of backgrounds that I set aside. I have finally made those into thank you cards, because you always need to have those ready to go!
This first one was the combination of two different stencils from the Penguin Palace Fancy Gift Bow Stencil Set with the Stencils 360 tool! I used the large and the tiny gift bow and layered them! All sentiments and products used are linked below.
This second card was finished with the Waffle Flower Oversized Thank you die.
I have a couple most I will share in the coming days!

This time I got to play with the super cute Creative Expressions Gingerbread for Santa stamp set design by Fabiola Giardinaro. I made a slimline card...
......and an ornament/gift tag. Making a Christmas Ornament was the first thing I thought of when I saw this set. It was all good until I realized that I had to colour my milk because the cup of milk looked very plain uncoloured. A little trial and error and I used some of the very lightest blues for the glass and the lightest warm greys for some shading at the edges of the milk in the glass.

I finally had a chance to play with the Altenew Golden Days layering stencil! There are so many beautiful details to this stencil and so easy to line up. I used all four layers for my card using three Distress Oxide inksthat are all hues of peach. My base layer is Tattered Rose, then layers two and three were done with Dried Marigold and the final layer was done with Rusty Hinge and a touch of Hickory Smoke for the centre.
I created masks for the flower with full adhesive post it notes so that I could stencil the soft grey clouds that are in the background. I used Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink but using a VERY, light hand.
The photo looks a bit loud but the finished card is a lovely soft peach and the always camera shy sentiment is silver embossed on light grey cardstock!
I finished it off with a few Studio Katia Stormcloud pearls!
I can't wait to see what you do with this pretty colour palette!
