Today I'm joining in on a few challenges with my stenciled Birthday card.
I used a newly purchased stencil - Bokeh Stencil Trio from Waffle Flower.
When I used the two colors from the Color Hues Challenge with this stencil it ended up looking more like a Christmas background?!
But I didn't want it to be a Christmas card (!) so I tried 4 different Birthday sentiments with many mixes of the colors: white/black/green and coral - before finding this Birthday Trio Die from Gina K Designs which made the background look more like a birthday card and I was happy!
On my first card, I used white, coral and green inks on the 3 part stencil.
On my second card I just used coral and green inks on the stencils.
Sending my card to:

What FUN birthday cards Julia! I love the addition of the white on the bokeh circles and that Gina K birthday sentiment worked beautifully on both cards! And they definitely don't look like Christmas to me! Thanks so much for sharing with us at the Color Hues Challenge and making our colors SHINE!! Hugs. :0)
