Hello, hello! I'm back for my final turn as a guest designer for Just Us Girls. Boy has it been a fun month for sure! As my blog post title says it is anything goes with stencils. Let's have a look at what I made using stencils.
Last fall I purchased the beautiful Waffle Flower Sunflower Cluster die and the matching stencils. I have been wanting to use the two products ever since then. JUGs provided me with the perfect opportunity. As you can see, my sunflowers are not yellow, but coral. I thought since it is spring I would go for more of a gerbera daisy look than a sunflower. I used distress inks in Saltwater Taffy and Abandoned Coral for the main body of the flower, Scattered Straw for the centers and Mowed Lawn for the leaves. Stenciling the die cut piece was so easy once I realized I had the die cut upside down, lol! I die cut several additional clusters from thin cardstock and adhered them to the back of the main piece to give it a bit more substance and dimension. I found a piece of gingham patterned paper in a similar coral color and die cut it for the background. I used the Happy Mother's Day sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Timeless Blossoms stamp set so I will have another Mother's Day card in my stash. I finished with the twine bow and sentiment in the center of the cluster. Going to add this to the
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.
Well, that is it for me. A huge thanks to Vicki and the JUGs design team for having me as a guest designer this month! You are the best! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
