Barbara has a lovely selection of colors for us this week: So Saffon + Terracotta Tile + Berry Burst + Tranquil Tide with a stencil for dessert.
A while back I made a diecut that corresponds to this image but after trying to add a two toned greeting, decided that the greeting didn't look quite as amazing as I had hoped. So, I set the die cut aside. It was still on my desk when I was looking for a stencil to use for Barbara's challenge. I taped it down over a white piece of cardstock and used the challenge colors and daubers to apply color over the die cut/stencil. Berry Burst and Tranquil Tide are retired and, while I still had Berry Burst, Tranquil Tide appears to have found a new home. So, I sponged with a little Shaded Spruce and Pretty Peacock hoping they could play the part.
I'm not sure the image was meant to be used as a stencil instead of a die cut but I think it worked out OK. I trimmed it down and mounted it on a white card base after adding a greeting. No embellishments - a simple, easy to mail card.
Thanks so much for looking! I hope you join us and play along this week.

I'm a big fan of stamps that allow you to do the coloring right onto the stamps, and this colorful floral image works so well well using this technique, it's lovely! It especially pops on the white cardstock. I like the elegance of the linear border around the other edges of the focal image. Anyone would be thrilled to receive such a positive and colorful floral card, I love it!
