This week at
it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Stencil Power!" which means she wants to see a stencil used on your make.
Now, I would like to say, I really tried to actually do a stencilled background for this challenge, really I did. And....it went the same way it has so many times in the past.....poorly. So, I went to my old standby....
and used my simple snowflake stencil which is really just a bunch of tiny circles. But, it is indeed a stencil, so it counts! Snowman stamp is from Tim Holtz. Just did a bit of colouring on the scarf and leaves, added some bling, and left it at that.
Why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

A stencil is a stencil and this definitely counts. I'm kinda with you on stencils. I don't use them either. I don't even know if I have any left after the massive craft supply clean out I did. If I do, they won't do me any good because I know I didn't keep any ink. But back to the card...I love the black and white theme, making that little bit of red in his hat really pop. Another winner for the Christmas card stash!
ReplyDeleteLove your sketchy snowman Jan and the snowflakes background and the little pop of red against the black and white, fabulous card..
