Crafty with Caly: XL Rose Bouquet
Hi friends! Happy Saturday! Please join me in welcoming special guest Caly Person to our blog today in the latest edition of our bi-monthly series, Crafty with Caly! Read on and be sure to watch the video for all the details! Enjoy!
Hi, Friends! Stencils are quickly becoming my favorite cardmaking tool – it’s so easy to add color and shading. The best part is that it’s quicker than any other medium that I like to use. Today’s card features the XL Rose Bouquet stencil. It’s a large stencil for larger or slimline-sized cards. My card today is 5” x 7”.
I taped my white panel to the back of the stencil and began ink-blending with Simon Says Stamp Inks. I start with the flowers, then the foliage and finish with the berries.
Colors used (in order): Rose Apple, Magnolia, Jellybean, Fern, Hot Mama

The Rainbow Pack Blender Brushes are perfect for ink-blending small areas. After ink-blending the flowers and foliage with the lighter color, I went over them with a darker shade to add depth additional color. I really recommend doing this because it will take the “flat” out of your one-layer panel.
I splattered the panel with gold and white paint and while that dried, I die-cut my sentiment using the CZ Hello Dies. I die-cut the base/halo from vellum and the word “hello” using gold glitter cardstock. I die-cut it twice more using white cardstock to layer for additional dimension.
To finish, I cut a sentiment from the Thinking of You Sentiment Strips to accompany my “hello” sentiment and embellished my card with a few iridescent sequins.
I hope you enjoyed this project! Thanks so much for stopping by today! ~Caly

DISTRESS Color Combos: Kitsch Flamingo
Welcome, everyone!!! It’s Shari here with some new inspiration for you. In the coming months, I’ll be selecting colors to go with some of the new Tim Holtz Distress ink colors.
For today’s card, I’m pairing Kitsch Flamingo with Mustard Seed and Broken China. I’ve chosen these three together because they make amazing secondary colors when overlapped.
I’ve also created an edge-to-edge shaker card using a stenciled panel with vellum over top. The vellum fades the color underneath so the bright flowers really pop.
If this is the first time for you to see this feature, I have a color combination for Salvaged Patina HERE.
