Clean & Simple with a stencil for Seize the Birthday

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and our leader Nancy has chosen CAS with a stencil to challenge us this time around.

Or you can play along with our anything goes birthday theme.

My team mates and our party guests Johanna, Milla and Bonnie have some great inspiration for you, so I hope you can play along.

I made a card with this flower a few years ago, and wanted to try a more clean and simple version
It was inspired by this card by Sherry Hester. Love her layout of the petals and leaves.

I stencilled some white card with candied apple distress ink and the Tim Holtz ornate stencil, then diecut the petals from it. The petal outlines are coloured with the same ink.

The stems and leaves are diecut from green card and the whole flower layered up for dimension.

The sentiment is from Annabelle Stamps, an Australian company that retired a long time ago. Her designs were gorgeous, I love the font on this one.

I'm linking up to these challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday, anything goes

Cardz 4 Galz, dies or punches

Thanks for visiting and have a great week,

Cathy x
