Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and I've chosen stencils as the theme.
My team mates and our guest Carol have some wonderful inspiration for you, although if you aren't into stencilling, you can always play along with our anything goes birthday option too!
Look forward to seeing you in the gallery.
I have been collecting stencils for quite a while and need to use them more as they are perfect for quick and easy cards! Once you work out which one you are using lol!
This one is new to me from Simon Says Stamp and I used glitter paste and a diecut sentiment.
It's REALLY sparkly in real life!
(I think I'll invest in a light box as pics may show up better!)
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Supplies:
Simon Says Stamp folk dance stencil; Bo Bunny silver glitter paste; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle and MFT happy birthday script dies.
Thanks for visiting,
