Stripes

Dear Ones~
It's been so long since I have posted anything here on my blog I'm not sure if I can remember how to do it. We had an awesome time out West - my head is STILL spinning.

Today's offering was made for:
Make It Monday Challenge over at Papertrey Ink, to create stripes
Just Us Girls Challenge,  hosted by my dear friend Nancy Leppek this week, to use a stencil.

Here's my card:

I used a die by Spellbinders called Diagonal Chevron, die cut it with light blue card stock, and then layered it over the white card which had been stenciled with translucent paste and spinkled with clear glitter. The glitter looks pink in the photo, but it's really just sparkly clear. Then I put some die cuts from Ellen Hudson on top, and silver heat embossed the sentiment. I have to say I'm not really happy with this photo - I think I need a new camera...lol.

Here are the Ingredients:
GKD White Card Stock
Stash Blue Card Stock
Spellbinder's Diagonal Chevron Die
Ellen Hudson Wild Garden Die Set
Sparkle and Sprinkle Graduation Stamp Set
Tim Holtz Bubbles Stencil
Dreamweaver Translucent Embossing Paste
Recollections Ultra Fine Glitz Glitter

Thanks for stopping by, I adore your comments. It's been far too long since I have been here - I promise not to stay away for so long next time!!!

    This is just beautiful Judy. Love the overall softness with those colors. I think I need to look into that Diagonal Chevron die. So glad your back sharing your gorgeous creations.

    I just got this message late this morning. I must be the last to comment. Like everyone else, I love the soft colors of this card. The clear glittering looks cool even in pink. Glad you are back.

    Lots of beautiful elements here Judy. I too love the softness. So full of prettyness (if that's a word). Truly lovely. Happy to see you with us at JUGS again after that epic holiday.

    Hmmmmmm..not heard of translucent paste, might need to check that out. Love the way the stencil doesn't take away completely from your background, instead it adds extra detail. Super job my friend and love seeing you in the gallery at JUGS...warms my heart! <3
