Pearly Sparkles July Challenge ~ Christmas in July

Hi Crafty Friends,
Welcome to the July Pearly Sparkles challenge,Christmas in July.
I love getting ahead for holiday card sending, how about you?

This A2 card was created using patterned papers from Echo Park and a wonderful stamp, stencil, die cut set from Pink Fresh Studio, Poinsettia.

I am having so much fun using PFS layering stencils.  They are each marked for placement and numbered so they're truly easy to use.  I stamped after stenciling and then used all-in-one die to cut the pieces out.  I fussy cut the sentiment which was also a part of the set.

Cut it Up Challenge #276 ~ What's in Your Garden?

Hi Crafty Friends,
Cut it Up Challenge #276 is What's in Your Garden?
We're finally getting some spring weather here in Northern California so we are beginning to see trees blooming and flowers growing.
Here's a project featuring my favorite flowers ~ daisies.  The die set is from Spellbinders.  

I cut the entire die set using 100# white card stock and then ink blended the pieces using Distress Ink Oxides.  The background is a Jaded Blossom Stencil and so is the grass and sentiment.
Hope you'll play along with us for this challenge.
