Just Us Girls Challenge is asking for Stencils as is Inkspirational. Geometric stencils are the optional element at Inkspirational and this works perfectly for that as well. I’ve challenged myself this month to create 31 cards using a NBUS product. I’d like to say a card-a-day. but I know there are days when it’s impossible to get to the craft room for very long. I pulled out a stencil that’s been languishing for months in the NBUS box. Somewhat to my surprise, it’s a coloring stencil for a Spellbinder’s hot foil plate, which I do not own. As you can see, it works perfectly well on its own.
I pulled out three Catherine Pooler inks that I’ve had for a long time and never used. I love the summer vibe they give to the card. I used just three of the four stencils since I liked the design with the white areas. After stenciling, I die cut the panel with a Hero Arts Rounded Rectangles Infinity die and added a white border before adhering to a lime green card base.
I tried a variety of sentiment styles, but liked this preprinted and foiled one from Pinkfresh Studios. I added a few Pinkfresh gold pearls as well.
These are off to Just Us Girls and Inkspirational. Both challenges end this week, so it was a timely make.
Hope your summer is off to a great start. We’ve had some much needed rain, but today is clear, sunny, and not too hot.
I love your commitment to using your NBUS items, Karen. This stencil is great and does work without the hot foil plate. The colors you chose work so well together and the gold bling adds a wonderful final touch to your card. Thanks for sharing it with us at Just Us Girls.
I just LOVE the colors you used with this pretty stencil Karen! The gold gems and sentiment add lovely shine! thanks for joining us at Inkspirational: Stencils! Julia xx

You definitely don’t need that foil plate, Karen! The stencils and these colors work perfectly on their own!
Karen… I absolutely love your challenge! I wish I could commit to 31 days of card. I am, however, very good at making duplicates when I do get into the craft room. Love your geometric pattern and the colors you chose. Thank you so much for sharing your challenge creation with Just Us Girls.
