I used the Painted Flowers Wreath stencil (Simon Says Stamp), masking and sponging two colours of Distress Inks (Shabby Shutters, Picked Raspberry). To finish, I stamped a sentiment (Good Wishes - Penny Black) in Lost Shadow distress ink
A fun and quick card to make. :)
Close-up ...
I was inspired by the Beautiful Blossoms May Challenge with Optional Mood Board #5.
I'm also sending this card to Stencil Fun June Challenge - Optional: Layered Stencils. Happy to be playing along. Didn't use the Optional this time. :)

Love your beautifully stenciled flowers and how you added a very soft grey stamped sentiment that did not take away from the gorgeous wreath:-) TFS Lolly. Love and Hugs..Nancy

The soft grey ink of your sentiment works perfectly with the softly stencilled floral wreath Loll. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, what a fabulous stencil, and gorgeous colours too! I love the sentiment in the soft grey colour .... very stylish.
ReplyDeleteHope you're doing OK. I've just realised that I haven't said thank you for my beautiful birthday card. Lauren brought it up to Scotland with her whilst we were away so it was a lovely surprise.
Love and hugs my friend xx
Love this Loll, the stenciling is so pretty. xx
ReplyDeleteI love the wonderful soft ethereal look of this!

Beautiful bright and softly coloured flowers Loll. So so pretty and love how you added that lovely sentiment in the middle.
ReplyDeletePretty, CAS and one-layer -- who's to argue with that perfection? Very pretty, Loll
ReplyDeleteOh! How very lovely Loll.
ReplyDeleteWonderful fading out at the edges, perfect for that soft gray sentiment.
ReplyDeleteI totally forgot about this challenge, Loll. I went to check it out and saw that you got an honorable mention for the last challenge. Congrats! This card is lovely in its simplicity. I've bookmarked the challenge and will get busy making a card for the current one.
ReplyDeleteYou have achieved such a lovely soft look with that stencil and, as always, you have used the most lovely colours xx
ReplyDeleteThis one does look fun to do. What I find so fascinating about it is the way you faded out the stenciling on the edges of the flowers. It's such a dreamy effect. Love the light gray ink too- one I must invest in.
ReplyDeletegorgeous Loll, your stenciling is perfect. I love the soft faded edges of the flowers ♥
ReplyDeleteGreat design and such pretty colors. The sentiment is so sweet.

ReplyDeleteSome beautiful stencilling Loll, and I love the way you have faded the edges to give a quite dreamy quality, carried through with that soft grey for the sentiment..a pretty card! x
