Wednesday, the week's half gone already!

Morning readers, 

I've a make to share with you today ....... recently sorted through my stencil collection and realised just how many circle stencils I own ... fortunately, not a single duplicate! Time to give one neglected stencil some ink!

My card
 
The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope

Materials used:

  • Two pieces of white card cut to fit
  • One piece of hot pink card, cut to mat
  • Using a makeup brush and my TCW stencil (278S) I applied Adirondack red pepper and purple twilight inks in stripes, blending the colours at the "join"
  • Lavinia Stamps "seeds" stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
  • HLS sentiment (from Doodled Flowers) stamped using Versafine Clair charming pink ink
  • Unicorn stickles to bling up the seed heads



I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-

WOW - I just love BOTH of these.

The stencilled card with the blinged up seed heads is just fab, and the zingy orange card with the cool stamping is marvellous.

Happy Midweek!

Popped over to enjoy your second card in more detail, saw it at LIM and thought what a great idea for the theme the design works brilliantly with a music motif, you are so good at this! Then the circles came up first and it looks wonderful so elegant terrific work. x

Love the colours you have used for the faded out bubbles Kathy and looking great with the Lavinia seedheads..so pretty, and the orange card as a background for your second works brilliantly with the black and turquoise stamping and the cute and quirky image..modern, funky and bright! Congrats too on your Top 3 placement over at the Promarker challenge. x

You've made me realise I don't own a single circle stencil, so must remedy this asap!! Just love how you blended the colours for the background, looks gorgeous against the white. And the seed pod image in black is stunning with all its fine detail. Such a gorgeous card, very happy you shared it with us at TIME OUT!
