The Paper Players and Just us Girls!

I love it when I've made a card, and it just so happens to fit in a challenge or two!  

Carol at Just us Girls #790 is asking for stenciled images, and The Paper Players #753 has a tic-tac-toe board for us this week!  I've chosen the top row: Celebration, Flowers, and Stencil...let's see if Joanne will accept 'thanks' as a celebration of friendship as this card wouldn't be possible without one friend in particular!



I couldn't resist some bright bold colors for Marcia's PTI In the Meadow stencil.
She fussy-cut one of those pretty blooms for this card last week - I dug 
into my stash and found one of those emboss-and-cut sets from SSS.  Those
stenciled blooms reminded me of this Alstroemeria!

Of course, because this was a stenciled creation, it fit Carol's challenge at JUGS, too!


Hope your weekend has been grand!

Gorgeous card with those bold colors. The die cut flower does match the stenciled flowers and looks beautiful - great job choosing that die.

The vibrant colors are gorgeous, Michele, and the stencil was a great backdrop for that equally gorgeous Alstroemeria. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us at Just Us Girls.
