Seize The Birthday - Clean And Simple With A Stencil


Hello!  It's time for a new challenge at Seize The Birthday, and our host Nancy has chosen Clean And Simple With A Stencil.

I've used Curvy Girl Can Buy Herself Flowers by Stamping Bella, watercoloured it with Distress inks and inked a Tim Holtz stencil to ground her.  The sentiment is by Gina K Designs.

If you don't want to play along with our theme, you can still play with our Anything Goes theme as long as it's birthday-related.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from our Surprise Party Guests, Johanna, Milla and Bonnie, and join us in the gallery.

  2. She is a pretty Bella for sure. And your stenciling to ground her is just right. The die you used to cut that layer leaves an interesting border.
