Just Us Girls #764 ~ Hi

Stencils... who knew they would be so much fun to create a card with. I remember stenciling lilacs on the walls of my craft room in our former home. Gosh it was such a cozy room. I had a Pier 1 Imports chair covered with fabric that included lilacs and hydrangeas, an oak pie safe to store lots of crafting goodies, a big window and a cozy nook for stamping! All of that has nothing to do with my card, but it was a fun trip down memory lane!

You guessed it, it's stencil week at Just Us Girls and I have a new favorite set to share on my card today.


I was immediately drawn to the flowers in Pinkfresh Studio's Be Fearless set when I saw them. I snatched them up during a sale! I used rose gold hot foil on them, die cut, then stenciled in various shades of pink. The leaves look green here, but they are light aqua accented with sage green. An oversized sentiment from The Stamp Market was a fun pairing for them along with a wonky border (MFT) panel to rest them on. 

I just love the way this turned out and I hope I've inspired you to play along with us this week!

Lisa, this is just SO pretty! I love all the pastel shades you've used for stenciling these pretty flowers and how sweetly they fit in that great big Hi!

Oh, my, it's so sweet and pretty, Lisa! I love these PF flowers and the stenciled colors. I'm smitten! Your former room does sound cozy. Not only a place to craft, but a place to relax as well.

Lisa... I can understand why this is a new favorite set! PINK, The Stamp Market and Pinkfresh are a trifecta.

Oh wow--totally delightful card, Lisa! I can see that the leaves are aqua and love the pinks, of course! Wonderfully designed!

Lisa this is such a gorgeous card, so delicate and a treat to look at. I love that you used roe gold foil for your lines, sooo pretty!

Stephanie Lanzalotto said...

This is really gorgeous, Lisa. Love all that luscious pink and you choice of aqua and sage for the leaves. It's been a while since I had my glimmer machine out, and I just for a new sale sale item to use with it. I am inspired by this beauty!

Absolutely gorgeous, Lisa! I think I spotted this over at one of the my favourite Canadian retailers; I'm off to check it out as soon as I post my comment. Thank you for sharing your memory lane trip; made me smile!

Your flowers are so soft and pretty and I love the way you nestled them around the large die cut, Lisa. Memory lane for me with stenciling took place when we moved to North Carolina in 1994. I stenciled around the top of our bedroom, bathroom and guest bath. Needless to say I ended up having rotator cuff surgery because I wore a hole in it.

I love the inspiration you gave me for a really fabulous way to use that big Hi die, Lisa! Those beautiful flowers and leaves look right at home curled around the letters and I love the wonky stitched border with it! And thank you for the great mental visual of your stenciled lilacs in your old craft room. I'm leaving with the amazing smell in my mind! Hugs, Darnell
