When I saw the challenge at Happy Little Stampers CAS for Three of a Kind, I immediately thought of a MFT’s stencil in my collection. Then The Flower Challenge showed up with a Shades of Purple challenge and that was that! Happy Little Stampers Stencil: Anything Goes also works!
I started by taping off the bottom portion of the stencil as I wanted smaller rectangles. Then I chose three Altenew purple inks–Lavender, Deep Iris, and Midnight Violet and ink blended them through the stencil. I found just the perfectly sized flower in Pinkfresh Studio’s Fleur 2 stamp set and stamped it with Altenew’s Obsidian ink.
I smooshed a bit of each ink on my glass mat, and used a small paint brush to color in the petals of each flower. The sentiment is from Special Day by Pink & Main. It’s becoming one of my favorite sentiment sets. I rounded the corners of my stamped piece as well as the corners of an Amethyst Allure card base and added the focal piece to the card. It’s definitely a CAS card, and a design that would work well with different colors and different small stamps.
This is so lovely Karen!
Three shades of purple!? Better than three sheets to the wind, I say!
Karen it’s gorgeous! thanks for playing along with TFC!

I really like this. The design could suit various different occasions- the purple feels spiritual and the overall sense is very serene.
Beautiful design with your three panels of different shades of purple, Karen. Those little flowers are just perfect. Love this CAS design! Thanks for joining us at The Flower Challenge!
Sweet card! You had me at purple.
Way to go for a cute CAS card = so many challenges! You go. Thanks for joining in at HLS Stencil Challenge
Very nicely done – the subtle changes in the repetition are very pleasing to the eye. Very neat to colour the petals in slightly different shades. I have a few stamps which might lend themselves to something similar – perhaps I’ll give it a go!
Love it! Thank you for joining us at Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge.
