Hello Friend

My first card features the new Spark Joy: Ornamental Bouquet set. I hot foiled the gorgeous bouquet onto white paper and then used the coordinating layering stencils to color the image with pink and teal inks. Then I die cut the panel, added a hot foil sentiment, and used foam tape to adhere it to a teal background.

Supplies:

Peace & Joy

My second card features new ink colors and the new Sweater Pattern Builder stencil set. I used two colors from the new Dried Petals Fresh Dye ink quartet to create the stenciled background. I love how cute and cozy this knitted sweater pattern is! Then I added trees a panel with trees and a holiday sentiment from a previous release.

Supplies:

To The Most Wonderful Friend

My last card features the new Majestic Mountains layering stencil set and the Through The Window die set. I blended green inks for the layers of the mountain onto a very pale blue cardstock. Then I blended a bit of a darker blue ink at the top of the panel to create some color depth for the sky. I placed this panel behind a panel created with the Through The Window die set and tucked in some flowers and leaves from the die set. I love how these two sets pair together to create a scene that I would love to see every day!
