Stenciled Spring Flowers

Hi and welcome back to my craft room!  I've got a simple card today, made with the SSS Fading Florals stencil, cut on a curve and placed over an embossed card base.  



The sentiment is a pairing of oldies from my stash.  The embossing folder is an old-timer, too, from Stampin' Up during a Sale-a-bration.  Oh, and the curve die is one of my earliest Spellbinders.  Gosh, I've got all kinds of new things waiting in baskets, yet I inadvertently brought out the elders.  These old girls have still got it.

I'm playing along here:

April Stencil Fun Challenge -- Spring/flowers theme
Can You Handle the Pressure -- optional weather twist.  I didn't do the twist, but I'm imagining all our rainy weather will bring some pretty spring flowers.

Thanks a bunch for stopping by!

Such pretty soft stenciling. The embossed layer adds wonderful texture to your beautiful card! You gotta love the timeless supplies that never lose their luster. That's why I have such a hard time paring down in my craft room. So many oldie's and goodies.

I totally agree with you about those 'elders', Leslie! I never tire of seeing old favorites [i.e. that embossing] they add just the right touch of loveliness to your sweet stenciling!

Your card may be simple, buy it's so pretty! I have that same embossing folder and love it. SSS stencils are so great and the colors you chose are so soft and pretty together. Hope all it well!

As many new things as I have waiting, the old standbys keep beckoning. So many fun things to play with and so little time! Love the sweet stenciled flowers that make me want to pull out this stencil myself. Love the curve and I think I still have that embossing folder. It was a favorite.

One of my first visits to your blog many years ago you used Spellbinders curved dies and I was intrigued. Also very new to making cards. Since then I've become a collector of dies! And I still visit your blog often and continue to be inspired. Just thought you should know :). Oh, and love your card today as always. Thanks for sharing.

This is so pretty, the curved edge adds so much interest and the embossing behind is perfect white space. Love the pop of gold too. It is always good to use older supplies xx

Lynette said...

Very pretty! I love that you still use your older things. I have most of my very original things and pull them out, too. Fabulous card.

So pretty. Love the soft ink blending for the florals and wonderful ef for the bottom. Nice curvy edges, which makes this very pleasing. Beautiful Leslie!

This is so pretty, like a breath of Spring air! You know how much I love stencils and you have made a gorgeous card with one, and the embossing sets off those flowers beautifully!! We have wild violets all over and the colors remind me of those, so pretty!!!
