It is the 15th October already so it is time to remind you that there is still plenty of time to join in with the October CAS Mix Up Challenge. This month we are using stencils, Viv is our host and the prompt is tone on tone.
First I created a stencil with a Fuzzy Lemon die, then I inked a piece of white Bristol Board with distress ink making the coverage as even as I could. Then I inked over the stencil with a darker distress ink. The edges of the panel were inked in a darker shade and mounted it onto paper that toned well with it. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in gold and mounted it all on a yellow coated base card (adorable scorable). I also used the stencil to decorate an insert and the envelope.
I finished it off with a few enamel dots in the centre of the flowers.
I hope I might have helped inspire you to take part this month and shall look forward to seeing your entry in the gallery.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

A beautiful Cheery card, Hilary. I love your Cheery sentiment for your tone on tone stenciled cards with Autumn colors. Wonderful framing too. Thank you for sharing all your steps, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Great idea and beautiful colors. I will take a look at that blog.

This is such a cheery card, Hilary, and I love these Fall colors for the card and matching envelope! Wonderful depth of colors on the stenciling!
Great post full of gorgeousness here. Have a lovely weekend. xx
great way to stretch those die cuts, It made a beautiful stencil :)
Its hard to make monochromes look good - and that's why I love them! This card of yours showcases how well a single color can be used and made to shine when used skillfully! I must say thanks for this beautiful inspiration!!
Your choice of color makes the card look very warm and friendly.
You and I are on the same color wavelength, Hilary! [will post mine soon!] I love these Autumn colors on your beautifully stenciled card!

Love the use of the die to make the stencil. Great way to extend the use of supplies.
This is divine. The whole card is monochromatic, perfect for the tone on tone theme. Our dies are even more awesome when we expand their uses. I love this card, definitely a cheery appeal ...my kind of day! xx
