Two blues?? Just for Color Hues!

By now you know I seldom make just one card while I have my supplies out - and I have another new stencil I wanted to get inky!  For Color Hues #78 ...


This lovely Waffle Flower Rose Background Stencil actually has a 'backup singer' look closely to see their Puffy Square Stencil that I picked up during their 'moving sale.'  The Thought Bubbles die is from The Stamp Market.  There is a rectangle and a square - in my view the square mimics the shape of those puffy squares.  
I chose just one of the roses to add to it.  


It's amazing to me how differently inks look 'stenciled' rather than stamped!
So soft and lovely, aren't they?


This little FRIEND sentiment is from that often-used 
Thanks a Bunch set from HoneyBee Stamps - as well as the pearls.

There are lots of fun challenges getting back to business after the holidays!  I better get crafting!  Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Soft and lovely is a perfect description! The roses looks fabulous in shades of blue. That pattern would make a beautiful quilt--just the right colors for my bedroom! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!

  15. I agree about how soft and pretty the inks look when stenciled. This is beautiful and fun at the same time. I see those puffy squares in the background. The Thought Bubbles die with the rose and sentiment brings all that beauty forward and makes for a really special card!

  20. I was just thinking to myself the other day after stenciling about how different the colors look when stamped. The blue roses are so soft and pretty.
