Today I have a stencilled card to show you. I have recently started to dip my toe into the world of layered stencils and bought this set by Concord & 9th. This was very easy and very satisfying to make, and, just for a change, it didn't take me hours and hours!
I used my Catherine Pooler inks, can't remember which colours exactly. I think they work well on this type of stencil as the colours are quite vibrant and solid. To make it extra easy I followed the colours used on the illustration on the packet. I opted out of making decisions that day!
The sentiment and matching die are also by Concord and 9th. I finished it off with a few little silver embellishments.
I am sharing it at:

Before I go I just thought I would share the completion of a recent project for my front garden. I received several new pots for my birthday and last weekend I managed to fill them with plants. I thought they would go well with my front door. I am quite pleased with how they look. It is a shady spot so they are all woodland plants. If you have been following me for any length of time you will not be surprised by the colour. I hope you like them.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

How cheerful! Love so much this card and the colours you used! And it's so inspiring! I think perhaps I could try to make one layered stencil set on my own :) When I will have time I will try, I find it intriguing :D
Such darling little zone of woodland plants in your new pots! Love the pastel green!

Hilary, your colorful stenciled blooms are quite eyecatching with that lovely triple sentiment. So too are your doorstoop plants...fabulous pots garden.
I am again very enthusiastic about your card, it looks so wonderfully happy!!

I love the layered stencils too. This is so bright and cheerful just like the pots outside your house.
What a lovely card Hilary - the colours your combined are beautiful, and the silver embellishments are perfect there.
Love your potted display - that looks gorgeous also. Is the pink one a wee rhododendron or azalea?
Blessings

Super card Hilary. Love the vibrancy of those inks and the lovely sentiment. It's a good feeling when it all comes together quickly. I seem to spend hours on a card too...much to the disdain of people that dont craft..and therefore don't understand the pleasure we get from it. xx
I LOVE your stencilling Hilary, beautiful colours, a happy card for sure. Your pots are gorgeous, love the colour of your pots and door.

I love that you've dipped your toe, Hilary - isn't it so fun and relaxing? I love CP inks for stenciling as they blend so beautifully with the brushes I use. SO pretty!
Your new green pots are so wonderful... is that a rhododendron in a pot? AMAZING!

I do think these colorful and cheerful flowers are so pretty, Hilary! I like what happened when you dipped your toe! Love the sentiment, too. My mind is on your beautiful container garden at the front door. Perfectly color coordinated and pleasingly arranged. This time of year I'm all about the garden. It was supposed to be a nice day, but the clouds and sun are having an argument about that. The wind has come up a bit, too. Maybe this afternoon.
Your flowers are so bright and beautiful Hilary! These are amazing stencils! Love your pots!
Just love your colorful floral background, Hilary! Fab addition to your front door area too!!
Hilary your card is just so gorgeous and colourful!! I love your matching pots and you have filled them beautiful. Nice way to be greeted coming to you for a visit.
Beautifully stenciled card Hilary. I am recently bought layering stencils too and am enjoying how quickly I can finish a card! :) I love the mix of colours ... this says Spring is here to me! LOVE the pretty green pots filled with lovely plants and blooms. Makes your front door very welcoming. Great job! xx

Oh, I just love your stenciled card with all the pretty flowers! And, how lovely are the pretty pots in front of your door! I’m waiting for the weather to warm up a bit before planting flowers here. Maybe towards the end of the week. Take care!
