Tracey has chosen a beautiful color combination for the new Color Hues Challenge:
Right away I knew I wanted to use my new Alex Syberia stencil, Modern Weave. It’s a 6X6 stencil so I had two panels I could use for cards.
I started out by using the larger panel and adding it to a card base made with Concord and 9th’s Oceanside, a beautiful dark turquoise which matches the small diamond pattern in the stencil. You can see in this photo, the three Pinkfresh Studio inks I used to stencil the design.
Here’s a closer look. The sentiment also new to me, My Favorite Things Stylized Happy Birthday, was die cut from gold metallic paper and layered on a vellum shadow die.
After die cutting the first panel, I was left with a narrow strip of patterned paper and wanted to make good use of this gorgeous stenciled design.
I backed the stenciled piece with some of the Oceanside cardstock and added it to a white notecard.
The sentiment, foiled in gold, is from Pinkfresh Studio’s Perfect Sentiments. Needless to say, this card pleases me with its CAS design. I embellished both cards with some gold pearls.
I hope you’ll check out all the great designs from the Color Hues Design Team and our Guest Designer, Tenia. Please join us for this bright and happy color challenge!
There are two CAS challenges where my second card fits the challenge: AAA Cards: Anything CAS Goes and Addicted to CAS: Geometric.
Wow both cards are amazing Karen and your making me go look to see if my local store stocks that stencil. I really love the CAS card as the beautiful stenciled background pops with the white space. Thanks for sharing and playing along with us at AAA Cards.
The stencilled pattern looks fab and just that simple strip packs a punch! 🙂
I like the shades of green & blue you used on both cards. Looks like a difficult stencil pattern, which you pulled off flawlessly.
That is amazing!!! I love the colors and the pattern looks stunning in them. Thanks so much for playing along with us at AAA Cards! 🙂
I Love a TWO for one result, Karen, and both cards are gorgeous! I’m enjoying your stencil work, and the colors you chose are stunning! That Gold sentiment is outstanding. I’m sure you will find lots of uses for it.
Two cards for the work of one is always a plus. That is a terrific stencil.
Wow, that stencil design is really, really eye-catching and I totally love it with these colors, Karen! Both cards are wonderful – I love the fun script sentiment on the first, and how crisp and clean your second one turned out. Beautiful!
Your designer brain was on fire with these two cool geometric designs, Karen! That stencil was a perfect choice and what a bonus getting two cards from one stencil!! Hugs, Darnell
Your two-for-one stenciled cards are incredibly pretty; love the geometric design. I need to check to see if any Canadian retailers have this stencil in stock…

Karen do you realize that every challenge I visit your card with a pencil and paper to write down what I need to put on my wishlist! These two cards are so gorgeous and that stencil is just beautiful! The geometric designs always catch my eyesM
You’re really good using geometric designs, Karen! I especially love the 2nd card!
You really accentuated that wonderful Art Deco style stencil with these colors. Very fun! (Sorry I’m late to the commenting party.)
