Seize The Birthday - Use a Stencil

 


Hello, I'm here with my Seize The Birthday card, a little late.  Our theme for this challenge, chosen by Cathy, is to use a stencil.

I found this background in my gel printing stash.  I'd used a zigzag stencil and also leave mask/stencils, and there's another stencil in the top right corner.  The funky girl is from Chilled Chicas by Elena Guzinska of Zinski Art for Funky Fossil.  I coloured her to coordinate with the background.  The sentiment is from Altenew.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog to see what the rest of the team and our surprise party guest, Carol McFarland, have made, and join in the fun.  If stencils aren't your thing, you can still play along with any birthday-themed project.

  1. Wow! you used lots of stencils and they worked well. I would be too intimated to use more than one. You have inspired me.

  3. I am in awe of people who can use multiple pattern papers and have it look great, but you have taken mixed media with multiple stencils to a new level! Amazing card!
