***************

Here is my stenciled card 
I had a fun play day recently with my sister, Margie and 2 girlfriends.
We played with Ranger Alcohol Inks on Yupo paper.

I came home with 17,  A2 size backgrounds:-)  You will be seeing more cards
in the near future using some of these backgrounds.  

I used blue, teal and purple shades of Alcohol Inks and die cut the background with
CUTplorations "Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies". 

Then placed my new to me ARTplorations "Just Squares Stencil" over background, 
securing with masking tape and traced the squares using ultra fine tip black Sharpie.

Die cut black cardstock using a size larger Basic A2 Panels Die.
Lucky me...I found these already die cut flowers and thank you's in my stash.
I stacked 3 Memory Box "Sketch Daisy" die cut flowers and 
Poppystamps "Scribble Thank You" sentiments using Correct Glue.
Added the STAMPlorations "Shaker Blends Sequins" for embellishements.

Then dry embossed the SU Whisper White 100# CS card base front
using the "3D Subtle" Embossing Folder.  Love the texture.

Then popped up the panel with white craft foam and attached to card front
and Done!  Loved the results and QCAS design!

You have until the 24th to play along and celebrate our 1st Anniversary:-) Hugs.

  10. This one really captured my attention with the rich contrast. Love your color choices and always had a profound respect for those who can stack skinny dies three times. I so agree about Bonnie being an enabler and I too ordered that embossing folder! It’s perfect for this.

  12. Wow for the colors, wow for the design, and wow for the way you used the stencil, Nancy!
    And now replace the words, wow for, with love. ;-P The gorgeous AI panel matted with black pops against the white dry embossed card base. The placement of the die-cuts with dimension (flower & sentiment) and the sparkly sequins strikes a perfect balance. Tracing with the stencil is such a unique and clever idea. I love this card, my friend! Thanks for your inspiration and hosting this fun challenge!

  17. Love the AI background Nancy and that simple die and sentiment. Had to go and see if I had that stencil - nope. Maybe Shery will surprise me when she sends my mother load of goodies. I have left it to her to fill my order with whatever I was short on. Super stencil btw. I'm sure I can find a 'few' new stencils that have been used yet. Got to play again this month.
