Add a little stencilling

Our May challenge over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

is anything STAMPED option do some stencilling.

We have two lovely prize up for grabs so come and join us!

For my card the stencilling was done by cutting myself a cloud border

using the basic border dies.

I then just used a variety of inks to create a pastel cloudy background.

I then stamped the branches, leaves, flowers and music notes on

top of my stencilling.

The little birds where stamped and punched and stuck in place

using dimensionals.

I finished with a stamped sentiment from the same set

Sweet Songbirds.

I am looking forward to seeing what you all create!

Happy Monday!

I was doing a video tutorial and some cardmaking and had

this strip left over so decided to do another tag for my theme

I love this Sweet Songbirds set, so quick and easy to work with.

The cloud background has used lots of pastel colours.

ATC 8 - Pride Month

As it's Pride Month I thought I should

do a rainbow theme for this week's ATC.

It was influenced by a video I saw on YouTube

by Kelly S.

So I have used my layering circles to create the rainbow,

using brights card stock mostly.

The background has been inked with clouds.

I then inked another piece, same size as my atc

and using my basic border dies

(the cloud one, which you could use to create your own cloud template)

to cut the cloud shape where I needed it.

It was then layered onto the rainbow.

Sentiment stamped from a retired set in memento.

Finished it by inking around the edges.

We got the fences painted out the back yesterday,

which had been crying for some nourishment for ages!!
