It's stencil time over at Just us Girls #829 - thanks, Lisa - for the excuse to sit down to ink one of my biggest stencils of all: Altenew's Rock Trumpet! It's so big, with a little purposeful trimming, you end up with TWO cards! Here's number one:
LOTS of layers and details galore - even the sweet sentiment was in that set!
I used Altenew's Exposed Brick and Old Olive paper I bought at LeAnne's yard sale!
and here are the chosen inks...
Of course, I couldn't let the trimmings go unloved... this time, I mounted
it to a panel embossed with SU! Tasteful Texture.
Which card do you think I entered at JUGS #829? Well, you'll just have to go see for yourself! There are a few hours left to play if you have a mind to!

Thank you, Lisa! Always appreciated!
Both cards are absolutely GORGEOUS Michele!! Have you had this set for awhile or brand new? I would love to play with it sometime. Love, LOVE your old olive background on the 1st card...sooooo pretty!! And lovely, lovely 2nd card using your "scraps"!! You definitely nailed this challenge my friend! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteOh, Michele!!Two beauties, no doubt! I love that you made two beautiful cards from the one large stencil
ReplyDeleteBoth are fabulous. So nice to get a 2fer. Thanks for sharing at JUGS
ReplyDeleteI don't care which you entered, Michele, Just glad you did. Both are lovely with different vibes between a dark and light background.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are stunning! What a gorgeous stenciled bloom. I like the embossed backgrounds you chose for each of them. Happy 4th of July my friend!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are gorgeous, Michele! You have a wonderful color sense.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors on these big, beautiful flowers, Michele! I love that you got two fantastic cards from one stencil! I love the drama of the darker background, but the white appeals to my CAS heart! Both are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteWOWIEEEEE!!!! These are killer gorgeous! And you are THE best color picker! Two truly stunning cards!
ReplyDeleteWowza, that must be a big stencil! I sure love what you've done with it. The textured backgrounds add the perfect amount of interest without distracting from those fabulous blooms. Thanks for sharing one with us at Just us Girls!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, the first with that Exposed Brick in Old Olive is rich! Love the second card equally with the flowers growing up the side. The texture and dimension, the sentiments, all gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThere is no doubting which is my favourite. All that luscious green does it for me every time. Wonderful cards xx
ReplyDeleteWow! That must be a HUGE stamp to be able to get two beauties from it! I don't recall this set but might have been intimidated by the sheer size. The stenciling is just gorgeous, too, and I love the colors you chose--especially against the dark green card base. So lovely!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to get a twofer from those stunning flowers Michele! I love them both but the olive background on the first really makes it pop! Amazing creations! :)
ReplyDeleteBig stencil, BIG impact Michele! Loving both versions and how adding the dark green background can change the whole feel of the design!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Michele. I am always surprised and delighted by tone on tone embossed panel that is not white.
