Sweet Saturday

Hello & Happy Weekend!

WOW! What a scorcher here in the UK. I love the sunshine and I do miss it when it's not here for sure. But today I have pretty much stayed out of it this afternoon and tried to keep cool in the studio.

I was inspired to dust off Organically Zesty for my cards today and decided to pair it with Stencil - Layering Bauhaus Blocks. Which I am delighted to say is available on backorder HERE and I will be landing in the studio on Monday 25th September.

I started by using the stencil as a focal point on my 9 x 12.5cm card panel using Sprout, Buttercup and Marmalade to ink each of the layers. I then positioned my card in my MISTI to stamp the lemon image and used the fun spotlighting technique for the image to fall onto my base card. 

I used foam tape to raise the stencilled panel and a sentiment from the set with some Marmalade enamel dots finished the card.

I didn't want to favour one fruity image over the other, so went on to make a second card. This time I filled my card base with the Stencil - Layering Bauhaus Blocks. I kept the same vibrant and juicy colours for ease and save cleaning the stencils! 

As you can see I stamped the orange image onto white card and fussy cut along the top edge. I then adhered this to my card base using foam tape. This time I added ,a sentiment from Simply Said Blocks III and again used the Marmalade enamel dots.

Here are both cards side by side. I can't decide which one I like the best can you?

Thanks for stopping by & crafty hugs.
