One of my goals this spring has been to use my older stuff along with the new. Most of the time I completely forget about stencils and my handy notebook where they are kept in clear page protector sheets. I found a Heidi Swapp 3 stencils set: a geometric pattern, a large butterfly and its mask to add color on the background. I taped a panel of Bristol paper to the mat, added the butterfly and blended a light yellow ink. Next I placed the geometric pattern stencil on top of the butterfly stencil and added a darker yellow ink. I should have stopped there but later added the aqua spots. A Concord & 9 Serif alphabet set spells out the "hello" with the smaller friend stamped below. The panel was cut with the largest SS Wonky Rectangle die and added to an aqua card front.

Flowers and Wings
Have you tried Altenew's metallic watercolors? They are dreamy colors. I recently brushed sky blue, aqua and gold on Bristol paper with the idea that their glow would beautifully support a simple floral line image. I used the Altenew Beautiful Day stamps for the focus and added a gold embossed PTI Walk by Faith sentiment. The panel was directly glued to a kraft card front.
It's one of my favorite cards this spring. Linked to Addicted to CAS: #184 - Flower
The next card uses all PTI products: Songbirds, Swoosh and a Linen impression plate. After impressing a piece of lavender card stock with the linen plate, I die cut the spray of leaves from the panel and replaced it with a Bitty Big Lilac spray of the same leaves. A nest of silver thread holds a small Songbird stamped in yellow. Linked to AAA Birthday #13: Things with Wings

Hello Friend mini card
I grabbed a small note card that had been sitting in my pile for a year and decorated the front with PTI's Grand Botanicals and a sentiment from Pink Fresh Studio's Delicate Wreath. The leaves were cut from a smooshed DI panel. The curved edge on the front was not standing out like I wanted. I rubbed the VersaMark ink pad along the edge and heat embossed using sparkly Ranger Black Glitter powder. It will be a nice gift tag card.
