Just Us Girls Challenge #790 - STENCIL Week - Hello Sunshine Butterflies (WF)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #790 where I'm delighted to be the lucky hostess for our popular Stencil challenge. Stand alone stencils, layered stencils (some really sophisticated ones out in the craft-iverse), stencils as the focal image, stencils as backgrounds...whatever stencil style or technique you choose is welcome in the gallery.


This week, we extend a huge Thank You to Julie Beech  for being our August Guest Designer.  Her fabulous cards have offered wonderful inspiration to both our players and our team. 

We're in the midst of a late-August heat wave here, so I'm bringing some sunshine to the challenge today. Of course, everything is Waffle Flower! 


Please head over to the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from Julie and the rest of my amazing team.
Looking forward to what you'll be sharing this week.

Thank you for dropping by!

I just love your choice of colors, Carol! This is so pretty. You're having a heat wave and we've had a HUGE cool down. It sure doesn't feel like late August at all!

This might be my favorite of all these postage cards you've posted! Like Lisa, I love the colors. This is so beautiful! (We've also had a major cool down here. Feels like fall.)

So pretty Carol, it's certainly been a butterfly summer here in the UK. I've finally bought the starter set for the postage series but no stencils yet, I just can't decide which ones!! Thanks for having me over to play along with the JUGS team, it's been fun. :)

Oh my! This makes my heart so happy. Look at those beautiful butterflies! Love the color combo, too. Thank you for the smiles, Carol!

Carol said...

What pretty and perfect stenciling in those happy colors!!! The card is so clean and the colors just pop off the white elements! I really love how you used the postage dies...you sold the stencil with them on this one!

Enjoying your fun postal collage, Carol! Those butterflies are gorgeous in the colors you chose and I love the happy sentiment! A great design that makes me smile! Hugs.

Simply beautiful Carol. Love your choice of colours too and so pretty in those postage dies. Super sentiments.

Bobby said...

This is delightful, Carol. The colors of the butterflies blend beautifully, just like they do on the 'hello' die.

Gorgeous colours and I love the stencilled die cut words/sentiment - I’ve been wanting that for a while and you might have just pushed it into a need not a want 🤣
What a great use of those scrap bits and pieces
