Morning readers,
How's your week coming along? Ours is progressing reasonably well and we're cracking on with a few jobs resulting from the recent "weather"!
I've a make to share with you today ....... I have used this stencil a few times lately (having had it languishing in my collection for FAR too long!) and IMHO it lends itself to being used with two ink colours too - how do you like this colourway?

Oh my goodness I just adore both cards in this post.
Love the colours of your stencilling in the first one and, well, the second card is fantastically CAS. I might just have to pinch that idea from you if you don’t mind!! Xxx
Two great makes today Kathy, I love stencils and must use them more .

These circles look great in pink and violet Kathy, and the foliage looks so pretty over the top, and the second with the row of glossy circles in those pretty colours with your new SS sentiment...very CAS but a super design. x
Two super cards, Kathy. I especially love the stencilled one. xx
Wonderful cards. So glad you shared over at Colour Crazy, Happy little stamper watercolor.
Two great cards Kathy. You must be making quite a big hole in your NBUS stash this month! Thanks for joining us again.
I love using stencils too. Love your colours. Thanks for playing at AAA Birthday, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
Two totally fun cards using circles, Kathy! The color combo on card one is fabulous and I love the patterns on card two. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday and for using the CAS topping. Have a great week!
Love the multi colored stenciling! Thanks for joining in at AAA Birthday and STB
Love how you used the two colors with the Dylusions half circle stencil. So pretty. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More! Apologies for the late comment.

I especially like the branch stamped over the stenciled background! Such an interesting visual combination. The CAS card is a perfect quickie style that could work for any occasion! Thanks for playing at Happy Little Stampers! xoxo
Loving the row of beads (stones?) and I really love how they shine and add some dimension to your card. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Watercolour Challenge.
