Hello and welcome to Penguin Palace’s June Inspiration Week – Day 2! If you’re just joining us, don’t forget to head over to our Giveaway Post from yesterday where you can leave your comments to win a Special Goodie Bag worth over $170CAD/$130USD!
Today we’ll be showcasing a new 6” x 6” stencil, The Rose – Close Up! This gorgeous stencil makes it fun and easy to whip up a beautiful card in half the time!
Check out Karen’s charming card below!

I love the light pink/purple hue with a touch of bright yellow color-combo! It’s so refreshing! The “Sending Warm Hugs” sentiment is from the Unity and Friendship Quotes.

Julie went for a more traditional color choice for her rose. The color gradients really give the rose a very realistic look! What an amazing job by Julie!

I love the splashes of paint in a few different colors which makes the card even more interesting! The sentiment is from the new So Blessed stamp set.

Next is my card. I wanted a pastel look on my rose, so I blended Distress Oxides in Tattered Rose and Worn Lipstick. The sentiment is also from the new So Blessed stamp set.

I used Cotton Candy and cut out an A2 size back panel. To finish off, I added some clear hearts embellishments of different sizes to give it a more elegant look!

Lastly I wanted to share this card again as I really like how it turned out. Some of you might have seen this during Reveal Week last month.

The sans serif letters are from Modern Deluxe Alphabets and I used the Coordinating Templates to arrange the bold letters.

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s inspirations! We will continue to have lots of wonderful products and projects to showcase this week so don’t forget to visit us again tomorrow!
Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a lovely day!
