Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #500 - Die Cuts and/or Stencils

 Challenge #500 on the Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge Blog is to use die cuts and/or stencils.  Well Pinkfresh has done it again!  They have created a layering stencil with accompanying dies to give all of those delicious flowers, and another stencil/die combination to create the brown paper wrap.  

I participated in their most recent weekend of technique classes and this card was taught by the talented Carissa Wiley.  It was a fun class and there was LOTS of colors for the ink blending with those stencils, Carissa really emphasized just creating light and dark areas.  This was my first try.  I have two more in production!  I love that the paper wrap die has slits in it so you can tuck your stems behind.  I have lots more playing to do!  I just need to find some time!

I hope you will join the ATS&M Die Cuts and/or Stencils challenge.  Can't wait to see you in the gallery!  Thanks for stopping by my blog.

In kindness, Cathy
