This week I got an order of gorgeous paper flowers in the mail from Little Birdie Crafts, and I knew these blue blooms were perfect for the Floral Challenge at The Male Room. I think when the blooms are in more masculine hues like these blues, it works for the men in my life.

I used the layout from this week’s Atlantic Hearts Sketch to maximize the number of flowers in my design.
I also incorporated multiple shades of gold acrylic paint & my Tiny Circles – Peggable Stencil from The Crafter’s Workshop to create a GelliArts printed golden background for the November Golden Days Stencil Fun Challenge at Crazy is our Fame – Stencils are our Game (you can see how well-loved that stencil is).

I added a few enamel dots and a gold sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio Foiled Sentiments 3 to complete the design.

I had a heck of a time getting that foiled sentiment to photograph.

I’m also linking-up at the Simon Says Masculine Challenge.
WOW … beautifully done Stef! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Stencil Fun challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

Gorgeous florals, Steph! I love the colors you chose as well. Do feel your pain with photographing foiled anything. Ugh. You have done it well. Thank you so much for joining the challenge at Atlantic Hearts.
