Beautiful card. Seems easy but yet looks so professional!
Thanks for sharing this technique. I’m going to give it a try. Lovely elegant card!

Such a Happy card!
Beautiful card.
What a beautiful background.
I love this technique! Before watching the video, I was trying to guess what you were going to show us. I was wrong, by the way. 🙂 I was thinking you stamped and embossed and then blended. 🙂
Okay Cathy! You’ve done it again!! This is Gorgeous!!!
Love all the rainbows going on in your cards. The cross card is my favorite; it’s just so beautiful and looks like stained glass.
Another awesome card and I’m anxious to try this stencil + technique!!
Love your card and all the pretty colors used in it. Never thought to stencil the way you did and the finished look was beautiful.

Love what you did with the stencil. thanks for sharing.
Love what you did! I already ordered the HB die but I guess now I need to go get the stencil!
I love this! Now I have to order this stencil also – and the happy birthday! Time for a second order from this release!

I really like the stencil and ‘Happy Birthday’! These 2 are definitely on my ‘get’ list. Your card is great!
Love this card. The stencil is so cool and I love your layering!
Love your style and that blending is awesome!!
I adore your card! So far I want the tulips, daffodil, Gnomes and Bunny! I am sure as I go thru the blog hop there will be items added to my “to get” list..lol Your design team always show me ways to use something that I didn’t think of. I love items that are versatile….But I’m also a huge fan of die cutes such as the Happy Birthday! I could take a tulip and make it a Birthday Card, A get well card, A Happy Spring card and personalize with a die cut.
I loved the peony stencil from a former SSS release and after seeing this beautiful card, I think I better have the daisy one, too! The technique is simple but so effective and I love the blender brushes more and more as I use them!
Definitely a doable technique with great results! Thank you.
What a wonderful springtime card! Your color blending is so gorgeous!
Thanks for a chance to win!! I love to enter drawings. 🙂
