Today is the 1st October so I am back with some inspiration for this months CAS Mix Up Challenge . This month it is a stencil challenge, our host is the lovely Viv and the prompt today is Tone on Tone.
We have the wonderful Pat as our guest designer so I hope you head over there to take a look at the inspiration.
Don't forget there are some videos links on the blog in addition to the design team inspiration cards so do pay a visit.
I used a Concorde & 9th turnabout stencil and distress ink on Bristol Board to create my oval panel. I inked the whole panel with twisted citron to get the pale green background and then inked the stencil using a different green shade for each turn. The panel was then cut with an oval stitched die and mounted on green craft foam.
The flower and leaves were made in the same way. I cut them from the Bristol board and then inked them. The flower is held together with an eyelet.
The sentiment is also a die-cut. My base card is adorable scorable coated card.
I also decorated the envelope and an insert that you can see below.
I enjoyed making this card, once I had decided which stencil to use, it came together quite well. Do head over to the blog to see all the inspiration, you won't be disappointed. I hope you will join us this month.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

I love the look of this turnabout stencil Hilary in the pretty green tones and the coordinating colours for the flower and leaves are beautiful over the top and love the background card in that soft green colour too. It has been great to be GD this time and I have enjoyed this tone on tone theme enormously. x
What a lovely stencil Hilary! The shades of green are lovely and I really like the colour of your base card and how it all blends together with those lovely dies! Great job! x

What a fun stencil. Love the shades of green, and the added die cuts look really pretty xx
Love the mix of greens, Hilary. Hopefully, I'll manage to participate this month. I always intend to play but the weeks seem to fly by before I can actually sit down and create a card.

What pretty shades of green on green, Hilary! Love this design that could be masculine or feminine!
Beautiful card Hilary! I LOVE the stenciled design in shades of green. So pretty cut into an oval. Lovely spray of leaves and flower. The layered flower is absolutely darling! xx
This is truly a special card dear friend. I love the simply oval with the stencilled variation of greens....just because ;-)
The delicate bouquet does not go unnoticed and compliments this very CAS card perfectly. I love it! xx
I thought 'St. Patrick's Day' when I first saw your card Hilary! with the lovely green stenciling on your pretty oval - what pretty die cut stems and flower over laid!
Love your choice of greens and choice of stencil, Hilary. Beautiful die cut leaves and flower two. What a great idea to use an eyelet for the center of your pretty little die cut flower. TFS your creative and very beautiful CAS card design, my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
