It's my last week as a Guest Designer over at JUGS Challenge #785 and the challenge
theme is Anything Goes Stencil Week.
Truthfully, this took me the longest because I couldn't decide on which stencil to use.
Stencils have come a long way over the past few years and I pored over my 50+
inventory (yes, I own a ton of stencils) then decided to use some floral ones from
Pinkfresh Studio. (This one, Citrus Bloom, is sadly discontinued.)
I chose Reverse Wonky Rectangles as the base of the card and ran the front
panel through a dotted embossing folder and scored the back piece to form a hinge.
I stenciled several sets of blooms, die cut them and adhered them to the card.
Pinkfresh gave out some sentiments as a "gift with purchase" and I found one
that fit perfectly in the space on the card. Done!
Grab your stencils and join this week's challenge. Visit the JUGS website for all the
details and deadline and we hope to see you in the gallery!
