Amazing Things Thank You Card

Hi everyone - hope you had a wonderful weekend! I had some time to make a card before I tackled yard work. Decided to use a stencil set & make my second card for Just Us Girls #750 where it's stencil week. 


Supplies: Paper - Spellbinders A2 card &
Betterpress Porcelain; Momenta watercolor print;
My Favorite Things Floor to Ceiling; scrap of brown
Press Plates - Pinkfresh Studio Amazing Things 
Tropical Florals (retired but HERE at Frantic Stamper);
Pinkfresh Studio Amazing Things
Stencils - Pinkfresh Studio Amazing Things 
Inks - TH, Hero Arts, SSS & MFT (see photo below)
Other - foam tape; white gel pen

I pressed the floral stem and both sentiments onto porcelain paper, then stenciled. The coordinating PFS stencil set contains 5 stencils - three for petals and 2 for leaves; very quick and easy! Here's a process photo with the inks; I use my MISTI for stenciling - the magnets hold the stencils in place.


Next I die cut the floral stem and sentiments with the coordinating dies. Die cut a brick patterned paper with a stitched rectangle & adhered to an A2 card. Die cut a couple jumbo leaves to fill in behind the floral stem & a label for the sentiment to land. Assembled and done.

I'll also link up to Darnell's October NBUS Challenge #67 since my Amazing Things products got first play here. And I'll also play at the Pinkfresh Studio October 2024 Challenge where they're doing ink blending (which includes layering stencils!). You don't have to use all the colors shown in the mood board.

That's all for today; thanks for stopping by!!

Linda... beautiful floral! Candied Apple is such a vibrant red. Also love that you mentioned Frantic Fran... she is a hoot and you are right, you can often find retired products there. Thanks so much for coming back to Just Us Girls!
