Stencil Technique

Today's Challenge at Make My Monday was chosen by Nandini and the theme she would like to see a stencil technique. Lots of ideas on Pinterest.

This is something I rarely do simply because I don't have many stencils, this one was free with a magazine. An inky background, the texture paste applied through the stencil, some embossing powder on top which was heat embossed when the paste was dry.

Again no sentiment until I know who the recipient will be.

Wrapped Up Warm

I think this is the last of the cards needed for the children on the school bus, the girls outnumber the boys 4 to 1 so it gave me a chance to make some prettier cards, Lili of the Valley Simply Print image which is so festive. 

The weather is certainly turning colder a touch of frost on the grass first thing these past few mornings, and I will be so glad when the clock goes back, as it is dark until about 7.30 am which delays my first walk with the dog, living in the country has few disadvantages but walking in the dark is one.

Stencils or Masks at BBB

Thank you to everyone who has been joining in the challenges   at Back to Basics and Beyond  this fortnight we would like to see a  card where you have used a Stencil or Mask. 

This is something I rarely do simply because I don't have many stencils, and this one was homemade using a Tim Holtz die and some Mylar a flexible but strong plastic. I inked through the stencil and added a butterfly to finish.

I have been leaving lots of makes without a sentiment until I know who the recipient will be.

We would love you to join in, pop over to the challenge site and see the other Design Team makes , look forward to seeing you there.

Off the Cutting Room Floor

"Off the Cutting Room Floor"is Carol's choice for the challenge at CD Sunday today, that should give plenty of scope for your imagination, you can use any odds and ends you have lying about. 

This proved more difficult for me than I thought it would, I only print the paper I need for each project using my photo editing programme to alter sizes accordingly. The only paper I had from a CD was one I printed about 2 years ago and never used, So here it is teamed with a Lili of the Valley digi coloured with Promarkers, I had printed a few days ago.

 Remember you must use something from a Cd and let us know which Cd you used in order to  be in the top 3. Please visit the Challenge Blog and take a peek at the team's cards, look forward to seeing your cards there or on our Facebook page.

Water Colours at BBB.

Thank you to everyone who has been joining in the challenges   at Back to Basics and Beyond  this fortnight we would like to see you use watercolours.  

This isn't a medium I use so kept the watercolour element to a minimum, using Aquamarkers to create background shading.
The penguin dies were free with a craft magazine last year and the sentiment die from Creative Crafting World.


We would love you to join in, pop over to the challenge site and see the other Design Team makes , look forward to seeing you there.
