I have been trying to actually *use* supplies as I buy them, so when I purchased this Delighted For You stamp / stencil / die bundle from my local craft shop I made a point to use it!

When I saw this set, while I knew it would be versatile for color ways, but I immediately saw tiger lillies, so I chose a peachy-orange palette to start. The card base is Spellbinders Barely Peach (I think it would be Bellini equivalent now with the refresh)

Here is a list of the inks I used:

• Honey Bee No Line Coloring Ink (background)
• Lawn Fawn
  • Apricot, Peach Fuzz, Pumpkin Spice, Cilantro, Artichoke

The background was made with a technique I learned from the fabulous Gina K. I took a piece of 65lb card stock and scored it at every half inch; then I took the Honey Bee No Line colouring ink pad straight to the card stock (laying it flat down) and just lightly brushed it. That created that faux wood grain/ shiplap look.

Foiling sentiments is wonderful, but it’s a lot of work for me to drag out my glimmer machine, so I happen to have a pouch of pre foiled & cut sentiments from PinkFresh so I just popped one on from that stash.

A few baubles to fill in & balance white space and voila! A card done. It took maybe 30 minutes in total but I’m super happy with how it turned out.
