Framed Blooming Grace

Hey friends - TGIF!! I'm back with a stenciled card I made last night with two challenges in mind - Just Us Girls Anything Goes Stencil Week #776 and the May Pinkfresh Studio Challenge Frame it Up. 

Supplies: Paper - Paper Studio A2 card; scrap of green;

Neenah Solar White; Momenta watercolor print

Coordinating products - Pinkfresh Studio

Blooming Grace: stamps/dies/stencils

Dies - Pinkfresh Studio Essentials: Elegant Circles Die;

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Other - Tim Holtz Dot Fade stencil;

various Hero Arts & Distress Inks

I popped over to my favorite local craft store Anchor Paper yesterday & found they have a May special on PFS products. I picked up a circle frame die set and the coordinating pieces of the Blooming Grace set. Perfect for both challenges and I thank my Diva teamie Cindy who inspired & enabled me on the circle frame with her beautiful card.

First I stamped, stenciled and die cut half of the Blooming Grace elements. Next I die cut the largest of the Elegant Circle Frames. I arranged three of the BG elements on & under the frame. I added it to a stitched rectangle on an A2 card. I had inked the rectangle's edges and stenciled some dots in a couple corners. 

I wanted another frame to focus the sentiment so cut the smallest circle. Added it to the large blossom spray. Stamped a sentiment from the BG set, fussy cut it and added it to the small frame. Done!

I'll also add my card to Darnell's May NBUS Challenge #74 since my Blooming Grace is new.

That's it for today! Hope you have a wonderful weekend - one with a Monday holiday in the USA to honor fallen military personnel. Many people go camping but I'll be crafting!

Thanks for stopping by!!
