It's STENCIL month over at CAS Mix Up and mid way through our theme of 'Rainbow Ink Blending or Colours'.
Please remember this month is Stencil month so you have to use a stencil!
My launch card HERE had soft pastel shades - so went with really bold ones for this one!
This was a really quick make and I have done a couple the same design in different colours so if I need a card in a hurry I will have one.
Here's a pastel version on a square card.
Our guest designer Michele Ferguson (I Card Everyone) and the rest of the Design Team have some lovely examples over on the challenge blog and if you've not already joined us there's still time!
Love the vibrancy of this one Viv, you have managed to get your leaves to look more like a stamp than a stencil and it is really effective. It looks great in pastels too but I think I prefer the bold colours xx
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Viv and I especially like the colours on the second one x
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards look terrific, great design and a lovely sentiment.

This really shows how color can change the feel of a card. Clean and perfectly senciled.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if I like this better with the bright colors or the pastels, Viv! Guess it's a draw and I'm going to love them both!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, these are the prettiest cards with the coolest stenciling!
ReplyDeleteLove your Bright and your Pastel stenciled leaves, Viv. TFS both your beautiful CAS cards, my friend. Simplicity at its best! Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteLovely to see two versions of the same design, wouldn't like to chose between them though. They are each lovely in their own way and some folks like bright while others prefer a more pastel approach.
ReplyDeleteLovely and colourful xxx
ReplyDeletetwo beautiful cards Viv.

Two pretty cards Viv..I really like the pastel one..but then I really like the stronger colours too...can see why you made two! xx
ReplyDeleteThey are both so pretty and it's hard to choose just one. I love soft colors, they are soothing. Bright colors are so happy.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright and bold colors you've used, Viv! A wonderful design, and fun stencil! But there's nothing I don't love about the pastels, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for letting me hang out with you CAS ladies this month! xx

Two super cards, Viv. I especially love the first one with the vibrant colours. xx
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fabulous stencil Viv! Both cards are so beautiful and evoke such different feelings because of the saturation of colour. It's amazing how much of a difference that makes. Both are lovely, my friend! xx
ReplyDeleteThey are both beautiful Viv! You'd think with all this rain and intermittent sunshine we be seeing rainbows but they are eluding us. Have a good week
ReplyDeleteBold and vibrant with the first and gentle and soft on the second and I love them both. Great blending of the rainbow colours on both Viv x.
ReplyDeleteLove how you used the rainbow ink blended colours for your leaves on both cards Viv, both are perfect for the challenge this month.
ReplyDeletewonderful looking cards...love them both.

I love this design and it looks equally gorgeous (but very different) in the bold colours and the pastels! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteThese both look brilliant Viv, and of course I am a fan of bright colours and especially love that look, but the soft pastels are so pretty too. x
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late visit. Two gorgeous cards, and beautifully blended. Love the delicate pastel shades but I think my favourite is the brightly coloured one! xx
