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'm joining the Addicted to Stamps and More Stencil and/or Die Cut Challenge.
I just love the iris and tulip combination … they both remind me of my Grandma's garden.






Fabulous card using a gorgeous stencil and wonderful colours! Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
Love your colors and fun spring designs! Thank you for playing in my sketch this week at FMS!
These are three classic spring designs with the tulips and iris, Stef! I love your take on the sketch and your colors, especially how you achieved the pretty purple!👍Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
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.
Hugs
