I'm squeezing in a couple more challenge cards that I had time to make this week. First is a card I used some of my brand new Studio 490 Wendy Vecchi stencils on. The background is Check Mate and the tree is Layered Tree. The sentiment is from Sentimental Art by Studio 490 Stampers Anonymous. I stenciled on a panel of watercolor paper so there is a nice texture on it. I used Ranger Distress Bundled Sage, Archival Leaf Green and Tree Branch.
I'm linking this card to the Keep It Simple challenge - Stencil
As well as Virginia's View Challenge - Stencil
and the Moxie Fab World Styling with Stencils
For my second card I used some pretty patterned papers I just got at a friends Stampin' Up Party. The balloons are dies from WPlus9 Whole Lotta Happy that I added twine balloon strings to! The sentiment Verve.

Two gorgeous cards Julia! Lovely stencilling on your first card, and great layering on the second with the pretty papers!
Both cards are gorgeous Julia but I especially love the second one. The patterned paper is fabulous and I just adore your layout xx
Your birthday card on Seize the Sketch caught my eye. I cannot tell you how much I love the patterns and colors -- so fresh looking! And I adore the tree card. I think I *need* those stencils!
Fantastic cards Julia! Both cards are fabulous!Love those balloons!
Both cards are beauties, Julia. I have tons of stencils that are just collections dust... Your layered tree card has inspired me to blow off the dust and give them a try. Your second card is a perfect combination of paper, sentiment and die cuts. Love them both!
Wow...I love both your cards but that tree and I love that you used stencils too, so gorgeous!
Beautiful cards- I particularly like the second one with its gorgeous soft colour pallette.
