Make it Monday and another iStencil Card

Hi Everyone,

I want to share a card with you I made for this week's Make it Monday. The theme is "A la carte", you can choose any of the 40 previous posts. Even if you don't want to play along you should just go and check it out for all the wonderful inspiration you fill find there. I settled for 
Make It Monday #218: Watercolors with Die-Cut Stencils by the talented
Lexi Daly.


You can watch the video - always good to get some tricks and tips. All my supplies are by Papertrey - the scribbles, the die and the sentiment. I added some sequins, matching the water color.


I just love this - so simple and pretty!

------------

You may remember the card I made for this weeks Less is More challenge. I kept looking at it, with its drab colors and decided to change that. So I just die cut the thanks in orange and added the orange side strip and now I like it much better!


again, the stencil is an iStencil, the thanks is by SSS

6x6 PTP-108 wavy stripes
Which version do you like better?

 I am linking up with:
Rubber Dance - Black, white and one color

Keep Stamping and Stenciling ;)

I have to admit I like your step up by adding orange strip and sentiment. Looks perfect. Love that watercolour and die cutting card as well. Off to check it out.

Love the MIM card you made! Simple but oh so creative and eye-catching!
I like the newer version of the card better with the punch of orange against the black and white. The orange seems to be a better fit for such a bold, graphic design! Way cool!

I love both of these cards! The rainbow across the sentiment is beautiful and the pop of orange... love it! I can't wait to see your card using the die cut and foam. Hugs!

That Make It Monday card really looks fabulous. Love the colors you chose. On the second card...as you know, I loved the first one. Couldn't stop looking at it but that hot orange color absolutely makes this sing in the higher registers.
