Boots & Blooms

I broke out the Never Before Used Boots & Blooms A2 Designer Layering Stencil from Taylored Expressions for a few cards (and I'm joining Darnell's NBUS Challenge).  It's also perfect for the April Stencil Fun Challenge Spring / Flowers.

I started with the colors from the Color Throwdown Challenge with a sentiment from Taylored Expressions Simple Strips – Birthday.

For my next card, I added in some purple for the tulips (the intention was for it to be red, but since I didn't clean my stencils, the blue & red combined to make this gorgeous purple).

The layout is this week's Freshly Made Sketch with another Taylored Expressions Sentiment Strips – Birthday sentiment.

And for the final one, I made a Mother's Day card with a sentiment from Taylored Expressions Penned Pretty

I just love the iris and tulip combination … they both remind me of my Grandma's garden.

  3. What a lovely trio of cards, Stef and I love the gorgeous stencil you chose for them. The last card has a kind of graphic look to it that I really like too!
    Thanks for sharing with us at ATSM.
