I've been making these framed decor pieces for some over a year now. I started out just wanting to seasonally decorate my craft room, but today's Elegant Rose florals are to brighten Mom's space and send lots of love her way for Mother's Day.

Hello Lovelies! I have a pair of cards for you today from Simon Says Stamp's May 2025 Card Kit - Beautiful and Curious. I love that card kits make me try items that I don't use that often and for this month's kit, it's the Distress Crayons. After completing these two cards, I can definitely say I've been missing out on the Crayons! Each kit will come with 4 crayons and I've used mine to watercolor a bouquet for one card and create a fully colored background for the other.

This Floral stencil can be purchased alone, but a section of it is also included in the new Flutter Mixed Media Set and I made it the focal point for this Spring card. The flowers are stenciled first in Texture Paste and sprinkled with Distress Glaze over a watercolor background.
