Stencilling for Seize the Birthday

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and it's Shirley's turn to host some stencilling fun!


Or join in with anything goes as long as it's a birthday card.

There are some fabulous ideas to inspire you over on the blog thanks to our party guests Leslie and Claire and my team mates.

I had a lot of fun making this card. 
Think I was feeling a very hungry caterpillar vibe lol!

The caterpillars are coloured with Inktense pencils and the clouds stencilled with distress ink.
The sentiment is diecut from a rainbow inked piece of card and clear heat embossed for some shine.

I'm linking up to these challenges:

Allsorts, stencils or masks

Alphabet Challenge, choose a letter and matching theme
C for caterpillars!


Supplies:
MFT cloud stencil; Hero Arts bug you stamp & die; Pinkfresh Studio leafy branch die; Paper Rose happy birthday chunky layered die; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die; distress inks and Inktense pencils; versafine ink & clear ep.

Thanks for visiting,

  10. I love your cute caterpillars on the leafy branch Cathy and a wonderful cloud filled blue sky in the background, and a great idea to make a rainbow of colours on some card to cut the sentiment from which looks wonderfully shiny clear heat embossed..a fun and pretty card. x
