Stencils for Seize the Birthday

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Vicki has chosen stencils as the theme.


You can always play along with our anything goes birthday theme too.


My team mates and our guest Lorraine have some great inspiration for you, so I hope you can play along. All of the details are on the blog.

I seem to be stuck on a shimmer and shine phase! Will try and move on soon I promise :)

I used a new to me product (been around for quite a while I believe though) through my stencil.
Nuvo crackle mousse in russian white. Love the colour and love the crackle!

The sentiment die was inked with versamark and embossed with rose gold ep, while the butterfly was embossed with Lindys chateau rose ep.

Here's a closer look.

I'm linking up to these challenges:

I've used both diecuts and a stencil.

Allsorts, celebrating their 13th birthday with an anything goes birthday challenge! Congratulations!

Faux or real stitching for Seize the Birthday

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Shirley wants to see some stitching on our cards. Faux or real, it's up to you


Of course, anything goes with a birthday sentiment is always fine too.
Our guest this time around is Lorraine and she and my team mates have some wonderful cards to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.


I've gone with stitching from diecuts.
I used a stitched rectangle die and then taped the blossom border metal die in place to cut the floral strip from the rectangle. Lots of stitching on that too.

The background is one of my last scraps from some inka gold smooshed on paper. Need to make some more!
Here's a closer look at the shimmer.

I'm linking up to these challenges:


Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die; Paper Rose blossom border metal die; inka gold paste in gold and jade; sentiment sticker.
