Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It's time for another challenge at CAS Mix Up!
Our hostess this month is my talented friend, Susan and for our Stencilng Challenge
she chose...
I used a NBUS stencil from Studio Katia and inked through it with
Distress Inks. The strings were stamped in the same colors.
The piece was die cut with a stitched rectangle and I added a narrow matting of
green. The sentiment is heat embossed on a snippet of black cardstock and
popped up with dimensionals.
My sweet and talented friend, Michele (I Card Everyone) is our Guest Designer this month.
She and the Design Team have some awesome inspiration for you.
I hope you'll check them out and join us.
Challenges:
CAS Mix Up - Rainbow Inking-Must use a stencil
NBUS #26 - Never Before Used Schtuff (new stencil)
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

You know, I think I can hear that squeaky sound balloons make when they bundle together when I look at this card. The transparency you achieved with the stencil is absolutely perfect. I am suitably impressed with your skills.
