Today, I'm sharing a card I made for the "Somewhere over the Rainbow" Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero challenge.
I made a shaker card using the Bee Florals Window Fancy Die from Hero Arts, with the matching layering stencils, and a sentiment from the Friendly Messages bundle.Tuesday, 21 March 2023

Rainbow alcohol pearls
Last month, I had a couple of crafty friends, Deb and Donna, over for a day of fun and friendship. Honestly, we just talked and talked and talked, but got a little bit of crafty stuff done as well. It was fabulous!
Both of my friends brought products with them that I could play with, so I put some of them together on this card.
Thanks for visiting :)

Online Card Classes: Stenciled 2 Day 4
Day 4 of the current Online Card Class was about layering stencils. Jennifer McGuire used layering stencils on coloured cardstock, and Dawn Woleslagle used foiling on one of her stencil layers.
I don't have a very large selection of layering stencils, so I used what I had!

Online Card Class Stenciled 2: Day 3
Day three of the current Online Card Class was about layering stencils, and was taught by Kristina Werner and Mindy Eggen.
I discovered that every tub of coloured glitter paste in my collection has dried up (and I mean totally), so I coloured my clear glitter paste with alcohol inks for this card.

Online Card Class: Stenciled 2 Day 1
I am a hard core Online Card Class fan. I think I've taken all of their classes, so I was very excited to see a new stencil class!
Day 1 was about making good use of single stencils. I flipped this Floral Heart stencil from Funky Fossil Designs into the four corners of my card and stenciled them in 4 different colours. I then added some extra detail with the Hero Arts Script stencil as well. I finished with the frames die from Altenew, the Handwritten Hello die from Simon Says Stamp, and the Tiny Words stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.
On this card, I used the Sunrise Radiating Rays stencil from My Favorite Things, and sentiment dies from Hello Bluebird (both are, sadly, discontinued)
