I haven’t even watched the video yet as I was captivated by this gorgeous card. The colors pop and the orchids are spectacular and set off so wonderfully in this frame. What a way to start Monday. Well done, Melissa!
Good morning Melissa! Such a great idea and your video shows the ease of stretching our dies for stencils. I always love watching your creative process. I hope you have a happy Monday too! 🙂
What a lovely card, Melissa!
Thank you Melissa for the stenciling technique. I love watching you and your ideas. I would love to see you do more videos. You’re very talented!
Stunning!
Stunning as always!
LOVE it ! So gorgeous..and indeed without the frame looks so gorgeous too!
Oh my! How lovely, Melissa! Heartfelt thanks for inspiring us to use our Mix & Mat and Shape Shifter dies to create our own stencils. I just love the soft, textured backgrounds on your cards. Can’t wait to give it a try! ?
BEAUTIFUL, Melissa!!! I LOVE the Mix & Mat Dies for SO MANY REASONS, & you’ve given us one more reason! 😉 Your card IS GORGEOUS!!! AND I think the July Corner Adorner WILL be one of those EVERYONE WANTS! (SO GLAD, I got my order in last night! LOL) AND the orchids are GORGEOUS AS WELL!!! A BEAUTIFUL SET!!!! (One of Betsy’s BEST!) You’ve featured them SO WELL!!! 😉
This card is so lovely. Creating stencils to produce the softly colored background is a great idea. Your video was so helpful for learning exactly how you did this for your card. Thanks for sharing both the card and the video. You’ve given me so many possible ways to layout cards as you considered your finished product.
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy creating using this idea!
So artistic & gorgeous, Melissa! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration!
And thank you for your sweet comment. I appreciate you!
Lovely tutorial Melissa. Your work is very distinctive and I can almost always pick it how. You fooled me a couple of weeks ago when you switched out your colors.
Haha! I fooled myself as well :). Thank you for your kind note!
Beautiful, love the layered look it gives and such softness!
Thank you so much Connie! I appreciate your sweet comment.
