Hello again,
Just a quick card for Casology, where the cue word is 'stencil' and Less is More where the theme is:
Something that pops or bangs
I've never been a big user of stencils - I've a few in my stash but I never seem to know quite what to do with them. In the end I didn't even use one of those and made my own with a Whimsy Stamps balloon die. I used a variety of distress inks to sponge a whole bunch of balloons , then added a bold sentiment from the matching stamp set - Happy Everything. Another easy one, but isn't that the point of clean and simple challenges?!
Have a great Sunday!

ReplyDeleteThanks for taking on our Stencil cue this week!
I tried stamping more than 3 balloons for my card, but did not like the result, but your card looks just wonderful, probably because distress inks blend so well.
ReplyDeleteOh, fabulous! Love the balloons and the colours - this is so vibrant and striking! Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, love the layers of balloons.
