Stenciled Floral Background

Welcome - I'm back with a final card (limit of three) for Just Us Girls Challenge #711 (Stencils). I was doing some crafty clean-up last night & ended up making this card:

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;

Park Lane gold A2 card; Paper Studio Holiday; scrap of pink & vellum

Stencils - Hero Arts January 2024 My Monthly Hero Classic Kit

Dies - A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set;

Hero Arts January 2024 My Monthly Hero Premium Kit  

(Love You dies in the Classic kit too but not the flowers) &

Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies

Inks - Hero Arts Soft Blossom, Azalea, Crimson, Red Royal, & Moss

I received my January MMH kit last week and used one of the sentiments and some of the camel watercolor paper included in the Classic Kit (I subscribe to the Premium Kits). While I was putting away the sentiment set, I spotted the stencils & decided to get one last JUGS card in.

Stenciled a piece of Neenah white using the 5 layering stencils and various inks (listed in supplies). I die cut the panel with an old stitched rectangle die and adhered it to a gold A2 card. Next I die cut the classic kit's large heart from vellum & the LOVE YOU 3 times - twice from red and once from gold. Layered the LOVE YOU and added to the heart, then glued the heart to the card with glue just behind the letters. 

When I received my kit, I had done a test run of all the flowers in the premium part of the kit - die cutting them using Neenah white. Decided a flower would be fun on each O but ended up offsetting them, rather than putting them in the O's centers. Next I used the smallest heart in the nested heart die set (a long-time fave) & cut from a scrap of pink. Added these to the flower centers. Easy peasy! The inside will have a Valentine sentiment so there's one more Valentine for the stash!

I'll add my card to Darnell's January NBUS Challenge since the MMH stencils were newly used. I'm also entering my card at the January Stay Crafty with a Blog Named Hero Challenge to combine old (stitched rectangle and infinity heart dies) and new (January 2024 MMH kit items).

Thanks for stopping by & happy crafting!!
