Morning readers,
Woo Hoo! I love to enter the LIM challenge but, due to a changeover in ownership of the blog, the challenges have been "resting" since the end of November but .... they're back today! WELCOME BACK to the challenge and to Kylie and her Design Team too - I KNOW I won't be the only crafter who has missed these CAS challenges.
Today's make involved a little rummaging for inspiration I came across this fab, grungey barcode image, I've had it for years but it's been lying in the drawer gather dust - for shame!! No more though!

| Hopefully you can better see the stencilling on this close up |
Materials used:
- White, 250gsm, C6/A2 card and matching envelope
- White card and textured grey, for my card front, insert and matting
- Snippets of card in white, grey and black - for my image panel
- Stampotique barcode image (16019) and HLA sentiment (from "Doodled flowers") stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
- Using an Aldi stencil brush I applied a light cover of Memento gray flannel to my image panel before overlaying my Woodware stencil (FRST006) and applying a further layer of the gray flannel ink ... this stencilling is more obvious on the insert and envelope
I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-

Fab bar code birthday stamp . . . great that it got to see the light of day to make that superb CAS card.
The starry ATC is brilliant too.

A GORgeous CAS card! It's always a lovely surprise when we start to rummage and finds little 'gems' that we had forgotten about. Thank you so much for joining us this week at Crafty Catz.

Fabulous makes as always
I'm so pleased to see the LIM Challenge back and all thanks to Kylie for taking it over. I love your barcode which works well on this birthday card Kathy, and then the harlequin star in the green tones with the stencilled stars in the background works brilliantly on this pretty ATC...nice to see the Adirondack inks being used too. I have a few and I always forget to use them so must get them out soon. x
